The remains of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist, were transported back to his home state of Arizona, drawing widespread attention from supporters and media outlets. His body was flown from Utah to Arizona aboard Air Force Two, with the aircraft touching down at an Arizona airport hours after former President Donald Trump expressed his intention to attend Kirk’s funeral.
Upon arrival, a motorcade escorted Kirk’s casket to Hansen Mortuary Chapel in Phoenix, where crowds gathered to pay their respects. Supporters lined the route, waving American flags and wearing “Make America Great Again” hats. A hearse carrying Kirk’s remains was seen traveling along Interstate 10 before proceeding north on State Route 51 toward Northern Avenue.
At the mortuary, additional supporters awaited the procession, while others assembled at Turning Point USA’s headquarters nearby, leaving flowers and mementos. A photograph captured Erika Trump, wife of former President Donald Trump, holding a necklace believed to have been worn by Kirk at the time of his death.
No further details about memorial services or funeral arrangements were disclosed at the time of reporting.
