Ford Funeral Plans - from WOOD-TV - Grand Rapids

Below is a map of the viewing process of Ford's body at the museum bearing his name in Grand Rapids. Visitors will walk to the museum with the route starting at the DeVos Place Grand Gallery. They will then walk across the pedestrian bridge to the museum and pass by the president's casket. The return route crosses the Pearl Street Bridge.

Thanks! I'm glad the Scouts weren't counting on me for directions to where they should assemble! No Front Street there - it was Fulton Street. And it's Pearl Street where the Eagle Scouts will be.

More about Ford and the Scouts at the link below this excerpt:

" ... Ford's family has asked that West Michigan Boy Scouts have a prominent role in the funeral in Grand Rapids. Thousands are expected to line the streets of the motorcade along Fulton Street. Eagle Scouts will be saluting the motorcade along Pearl Street, right before the Ford Museum where Ford will be laid to rest. ..."

My Dad was an Eagle Scout, so that always catches my eye.
