Funeral Plans Set For Tomorrow For Fallen Metro Officer

For some reason, the LVRJ and Las Vegas Sun an most of the TV media have not mentioned much about the funeral plans for fallen Metro police officer, David VanBuskirk.  But the funeral plans are here, at the Metro web site: http://www.lvmpd.com/Portals/0/news/2013/072613ReleasePO159e.pdf
From the Metro web site:

Services for fallen Search and Rescue Officer David VanBuskirk will be held Monday, July 29, 2013.

A police motorcade will escort the fallen officer, his family, and members of his Search and Rescue / Air Support team from Palm Mortuary on North Main Street to the Central Christian Church located at 1001 New Beginnings Drive in Henderson beginning at 9:00 a.m. This is the first of two motorcades which will take place during this service, and will be the smaller of the two. The route for that procession is as follows:

1. Exit the Palm parking lot onto Main Street,

2. Northbound on Main Street to Foremaster Lane,
3. Eastbound on Foremaster Lane to Las Vegas Boulevard,
4. Southbound on Las Vegas Boulevard to I-215,
5. Eastbound on I-215 to the US-95 Northbound transition,
6. US-95 Northbound to the Galleria Drive Exit,
7. Eastbound on Galleria Drive to Stufflebeam Avenue,
8. Northbound on Stufflebeam Avenue to the Church. It is anticipated the funeral procession will arrive at Central Christian Church at approximately 9:30 – 9:45 a.m.
Following the arrival of the motorcade there will be a public viewing from 10:00 a.m. until noon. The funeral service will begin at noon, and is anticipated to conclude at approximately 1:30 p.m.
Following the conclusion of the funeral service the main motorcade will take place from the Central Christian Church parking lot to the graveside service, which will take place at Palm Mortuary and Cemetery, 7600 South Eastern Avenue.
The route for that motorcade is as follows:
1. Southbound on Stufflebeam Avenue to Galleria Drive,
2. Westbound on Galleria Drive to US-95,
3. Southbound on US-95 to I-215,
4. Westbound on I-215 to Eastern Avenue,
5. Northbound on Eastern Avenue to Palm Mortuary. As the funeral procession arrives at Palm Mortuary all Northbound and Southbound traffic on Eastern will be stopped. Eastern will remain closed to both Northbound and Southbound traffic from Robindale Road to Eldorado Lane throughout the graveside services, so that Eastern Avenue can be utilized for overflow parking.
The graveside service is anticipated to last approximately one hour, and will involve the traditional rendering of honors including the presentation of flags to the family, a 21 gun salute, the playing of taps and the playing of bagpipes, and a flyover by the LVMPD Air Support Section.
Motorists should anticipate traffic delays in and around the motorcade route, the church and the gravesite during these services.
If you live in or visiting the Valley tomorrow, please make an effort to see the procession as it will show your support for Officer VanBuskirk and Metro police.
