Several hundred vehicles are expected to take part in a funeral procession Saturday for Montana Highway Patrol Trooper David Graham.

Graham's funeral will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Christian Center, 255 Summit Ridge Drive, in Kalispell.

The procession, which is expected to begin at about 3:30 p.m., will travel from the Christian Center to Glacier Memorial Gardens on U.S. 93.

Friends of the family expect more than 800 people to attend the funeral.

Law enforcement agencies from across Montana and the country will be represented in the procession.

The Highway Patrol has set up a fund to benefit Graham's wife and three young children. Donations can be made directly to any First Interstate Bank or sent to the Highway Patrol's District VI office, 121 Financial Drive, Suite D, Kalispell, MT 59901.

Graham died in the line of duty Tuesday in a crash on U.S. 2 about two miles north of Kalispell.
