The PGR will stage at the First United Methodist Church of Itasca, help set the flags and be briefed. We will then stand the flag line and welcome friends and family of Mr. Atkinson.  At the start of the funeral service, we will return the flags to the support truck so that they can be set up at the cemetery. During the funeral service, those riders participating in the procession will attend the safety briefing and make ready for the processon. Those not participating in the procession will proceed to the cemetery to establish a flag line there. 
The family has requested that PGR may be needed as additional pall bearers.  Also, the funeral director would like for the PGR to fold and present the flag, if possible. This mission has been compiled under tight time constraints because of the impending weather. Because of the short notice, the honor guard may not be able to make it the funeral.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
