Following the procedure for Line of Duty Deaths, Morley James’ funeral included a public procession. Uniformed firefighters and the public lined the route. The parade group included the Honour Guard as well as the ceremonial pumper, carrying the casket.

The funeral procession is offered to the family of any firefighter who loses their life in either the line of duty, or from presumptive illness. The Guard is crucial in organising these acts, working with the City Council to arrange road closures and public tributes.
