Train. Certify. Escort with Confidence.
The METI Certification Course is designed to train motorcycle riders how to safely and professionally escort funeral processions. This online program is broken into focused modules that combine video lessons, real-world scenarios, and critical safety protocols.
What You Will Learn
Intersection Control
Understand the proper way to block, direct, and clear traffic at controlled and uncontrolled intersections.
Procession Maintenance
Discover how to manage the pace, prevent gaps, and keep the procession respectful, tight, and legally protected from start to finish.
Legal Boundaries & Local Ordinances
Know where your authority begins and ends. Learn how city laws affect your movements — especially at intersections and highways.
Situational Awareness & Risk Management
Develop the mindset of a professional escort. We’ll train you to anticipate problems, communicate visually, and make smart decisions in fast-moving traffic.
Emergency Vehicle Protocol
Learn what to do when police, fire, or EMS vehicles approach your intersection. Prioritizing life-and-death situations without disrupting the funeral.
Solo vs. Team Escorting
Whether you’re riding alone or as part of a larger team, this course shows you how to adapt your positioning, blocking strategies, and communication style to suit the situation — without compromising safety or control.
Pre-Ride Planning & Route Coordination
Learn how to evaluate routes, prepare for hazards, and coordinate with funeral homes or lead car drivers before wheels ever hit the road.
Lead Car & Funeral Home Interaction
Discover what to say, how to say it, and when to step in. We’ll teach you how to guide the lead vehicle, support grieving families, and maintain a professional image at every stage of the service.
Highway Escorting Procedures
Understand how to operate when you leave city streets and enter controlled-access highways. This includes pacing, lane security, and how to legally maintain procession unity without violating state traffic codes.
Visual Communication & Signaling
From hand signals to body positioning and horn usage — this course shows how to get your message across without saying a word, even in high-pressure moments.
Problem Scenarios & Recovery Tactics
Processions don’t always go as planned. Learn how to handle common issues like vehicle separations, wrong turns, blocked routes, or aggressive drivers — and how to recover the procession safely and professionally.
End-of-Service Protocol & Dismissal
Learn what to do once you arrive at the cemetery or final destination. This includes traffic control during parking, rider exit strategies, and respectful dismissal of the escort team — ending the service with the same professionalism it began with.
