Expect Delays for Hopper Funeral Procession

The funeral for longtime Fulton County Sheriff Robert “Bobby” Hopper will be held Thursday afternoon. Law enforcement officers from around the region and across the country are planning to attend.

Due to the lengthy funeral procession that is expected, The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says drivers should be prepared to encounter some delays in the Fulton area.

The funeral service is scheduled for the Hornbeak Funeral Chapel on Carr Street in Fulton at 1:00 pm. At around 2:30 pm the motorcade is expected to depart the funeral home to travel westward along Ky 129/State Line Street to US 45, then north to KY 166/Middle Road.  It will then travel westward to KY 239 before heading north to KY 94 and turning west to the Cayce United Methodist Church Cemetery.

Due to limited parking at the cemetery, those attending the graveside service will be required to park along KY 94 limiting traffic flow through the area.
