Free funeral escorts for veterans, police, firefighters and Gold Star families.
They held the line for Arizona. We hold traffic for them. Sheriff-permitted marked escort vehicles lead the procession from the service to the graveside, at no cost to the family.
The people who ran toward it should never ride alone.
Most of our escort officers come from law enforcement, emergency services and the military. We know what a procession means to a family that has given a career, or a child, to public service. So for those families, the escort is free.
Veterans
Every branch, every era, including services at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona in Cave Creek.
Police
Retired officers, deputies and corrections officers from any Arizona agency.
Firefighters and EMS
Retired firefighters, paramedics and EMTs, career or volunteer.
Gold Star families
Families of service members who died in service, including escort from Sky Harbor.
A safe, unbroken procession, start to finish.
Arizona law lets a permitted escort vehicle lead a funeral procession and hold traffic so the family travels together. That is what we do.
One or two marked vehicles
Front, side and rear red and blue lighting as required by ARS 28-776, scaled to the size of the procession.
Service to graveside
From the church, synagogue, chapel or funeral home to the cemetery, anywhere in the Phoenix metro.
Sky Harbor homecomings
Airport pickup and escort for fallen service members coming home and for Gold Star families arriving for the service.
Coordinated with your team
We work with the funeral director, honor guard, Patriot Guard riders and local police on route and timing.
From the jet bridge to the graveside.
When a service member comes home for the last time, the trip from Sky Harbor should be as dignified as the ceremony. We meet the family and the hearse at the airport and lead them through the Valley, holding intersections so no one is separated.
Gold Star families arriving for a service can be met and escorted the same way.
