The Cleveland County Sheriff's Office now has a digitized form for requesting funeral escorts.
All requests for funeral escorts must be received 24 hours in advance and are subject to approval by the Sheriff and/or his designee. At the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office, we do our very best to serve our community and pay our respects to the grieving families by providing this service at no cost to the citizens of the county. However, there are times that emergencies arise that will pull our deputies away from the funeral escort. We apologize in advance if this happens!
We understand that when scheduling a deputy escort, you cannot predict the exact time that a funeral service will end. However, it is the Sheriff's Office policy that the deputy will stand-by for 30 minutes and after that time the deputy will clear up and return to their normal duties. If you have any problems with funeral escorts, contact Sergeant Travis Lee and he will be happy to assist you with any problems that may arise. His office number is (704) 484-4938.
