Special Information:
PGR Members will stage at 12:30pm. We will form a flag line for the arrival of the family and remains. I expect the family to arrive between 1:00 pm and 1:15 pm. PGR Members will escort the cortege to the Western NY National Cemetery starting at 1:30pm. At the cemetery, PGR Members will form a flag line at the Committal Shelter pending the arrival of the cortege. We will render honors during services with the military honor guard. Services are expected to begin at 2:00pm. Following services, we will render a final salute, and perform a dignified transfer from the Committal Shelter to the Columbarium.
Please be prepared with a clean 3x5 American, US Coast Guard, or US Army flag, and ensure your vehicle flags are securely attached for the escort to the cemetery.
Thank you for dedicating your time to help honor the World War II service of Lucille M. and Carmen J. Scoppa and to support their loving family.
