LAS VEGAS, NEVADA — Las Vegas Metro police Officer Charleston Hartfield will be laid to rest on Friday.

Officer Hartfield lost his life while saving others during a mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival on Oct. 1.

Before the procession and funeral, the marquees on the Las Vegas Strip will display tributes to Officer Hartfield starting at 9 a.m.

At 9:15 a.m., a police motorcade will escort the fallen officer and his family from Palm Mortuary on North Main Street to the Central Church located at 1001 New Beginnings Drive in Henderson.

The funeral service will begin at 11 a.m. Following the service, a second procession will take place from the church to the graveside service at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City.

The graveside service will last approximately one hour and will involve the traditional rendering of honors, including the presentation of the flag to the family, the playing of the Taps and bagpipes plus a flyover by Metro's Air Support Section.

Motorists should expect delays in and around the motorcade route, the church, and the graveside.
