Funeral Escorts
Funeral escorts help control the flow of traffic to permit the funeral procession to carry on as planned. To serve as a funeral escort, our drivers are registered with and permitted by the sheriff’s office and have specifically equipped vehicles, so that they may lead or assist in processions from the funeral home or residence to the cemetery. Per Arizona Revised Statute 28-776, funeral procession vehicles have the right of way in any traffic situation just like emergency response vehicles. Our funeral escort vehicles display red/blue flashing lights with an activated siren. We have the legal authority to stop the flow of regular traffic. All other non-emergency vehicles on the road, as well as pedestrians, must yield to funeral processions and their escorts.

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.
