When you’re planning a funeral, what’s the first thing on your mind? The casket? The flowers? The service?
Nope. It’s traffic.
We’ve all been in a funeral procession at some point—whether it was for a family member or friend or even just a stranger who passed away too young. You know how much stress it causes when you’re trying to get from Point A to Point B, and all of a sudden you’re stuck in traffic because some jerk just decided to cut off the hearse? It’s not anyone’s fault for wanting to go fast, but if that person had just slowed down and given way to the car carrying the deceased… well, things would have gone smoothly.
It’s pretty simple: under Arizona law, any motorist has to yield the right of way to a funeral procession when it is escorted by an emergency vehicle. So when you order your escort team, make sure they have experience and training so they can ensure a smooth ride while respecting all laws that apply!

Our Funeral Escort Officers
Our escort services are provided by professionally trained drivers with current training. We are the only Arizona escort company that is certified by multiple Sheriffs. We have obtained permits from each county’s sheriff’s office as needed, and work hand in hand with the local police and authorities. Most are current or former members of law enforcement, emergency services, and the military. They’re trained to help direct and control the flow of traffic while ensuring the safety of all vehicles in the procession.
