Funeral arrangements, procession for Ponchatoula officer set

Pricilla Pierson
Ponchatoula Police Department

The Ponchatoula police officer who died of a heart condition while on duty earlier this week will be laid to rest on Saturday.

Visitation for Corporal Pricilla Pierson will take place at Harry McKneely & Son Funeral Home on North Morrison Boulevard in Hammond from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. A memorial service, also at the funeral home, will follow the visitation.


A funeral procession will leave the funeral home around 12:15 p.m. and will follow West University Avenue, I-55 South, and LA 22 before circling the Ponchatoula Police Department. The procession will then return to LA 22 until it turns onto Rosaryville Road to go to the Rosaryville Cemetery.

Rolling road closures will take place along the procession route. Drivers who find themselves ahead of the procession are asked not to stop their cars on the road or on the shoulder.

Authorities say anyone who wants to pay their respects to Pierson may line the procession route.
