Nothing
dignifies that final journey quite like
the honor guard provided by uniformed
riders on beautifully appointed
Harley-Davidson Police motorcycles.
The decommissioned siren and the PA
speakers fitted to the machines allow
the provision to play Scottish pipes, an
Irish ballad, or any preferred music
along the way in a tasteful tribute to
your departed loved one.
NSW legislation specific to Funeral
Processions allows for right of way to a
funeral cortège under certain
conditions.
It is illegal in NSW for a road user to
interrupt or hinder a funeral procession
in progress. In effect, it is legal for
the entire funeral procession to proceed
through an intersection uninterrupted
once the lead vehicle has gained right
of way. The problem is that other road
users are unaware that a funeral
procession is underway once the hearse
is out of sight and it is dangerous for
procession participants to take
advantage of the right of way.
Having highly visible Motorcycle Escorts
affords road users the opportunity to be
aware that the procession is underway.
Our motorcycles are equipped with amber
flashing warning lights and our riders
are highly visible and experienced in
traffic control.
Utilising a Motorcycle Escort will allow
the procession a safe, smooth, virtually
uninterrupted journey to the final
resting place.
We also
have a Harley Motorcycle Hearse
available as an alternative to a regular
hearse. Please see our other website,
www.MotorcycleFunerals.com.au .
*MotorcycleEscorts.com.au does not
provide a security service and obeys all

preferential treatment is provided to
vehicles under escort that is not
provided in the relevant NSW
legislation.
