Charlie Kirk’s body arrived in Arizona after being transported from Utah via Air Force Two. The remains were escorted by a motorcade to Hansen Mortuary Chapel in Phoenix, where supporters gathered to pay their respects.
The journey began when Air Force Two landed in Arizona, carrying Kirk’s casket hours after President Donald Trump expressed his intention to attend the conservative activist’s funeral. An air traffic controller greeted the plane with a message: “Welcome home, Charlie. You didn’t deserve it. May God bless your family.”
In Phoenix, dozens of individuals lined the route as the motorcade transported Kirk’s casket to the mortuary. Some supporters waved American flags and wore “Make America Great Again” hats, while others prayed at Turning Point USA’s headquarters. A photo captured Erika Trump holding a necklace believed to have been worn by Kirk at the time of his death.
Details about memorial services remain undisclosed. The procession included a hearse that drove westbound on Interstate 10 before heading north on State Route 51 toward Northern Avenue, where it completed the journey to the mortuary.
