Guests looking to attend the funeral must be inside Beeghly Center by 12 p.m. YSU officials advise that the doors will be closed and locked at noon exactly, so guests are encouraged to arrive early. 

Prior to the funeral, a procession is expected to begin at Girard High School, travel from Churchill Road to U.S. Route 422, and make it's way to the University.
