INDIANAPOLIS — Trooper Aaron Smith will be laid to rest with full honors during a ceremony on Friday at Emmanuel Church beginning at 11:00 a.m. in Greenwood and concluding at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis.
The public is encouraged to line the procession route to honor Trooper Smith’s sacrifice and support his family, friends and co-workers. The ceremonial tradition of passing under a Garrison Flag will occur near Whiteland High School on U.S. 31, just north of Whiteland Road. The public can park in the southwest parking lot of the high school and walk to a safe area along U.S. 31. The coach carrying the remains of Trooper Smith will pause under the flag at which time a radio call marking Trooper Smith off duty for the final time will occur.
The estimated time for the procession to begin is 1 p.m. There are opportunities to view the procession near downtown Indianapolis as it passes through West Street to New York Street, then north on Illinois. The public is asked to find a safe parking spot and not block lanes of travel.
