Patriots to Attend Services for Hill

According to a pair of posts at both the Boston Herald and The Boston Globe's Patriots blogs, the team released the following information regarding visitation and funeral services for Marquise Hill:

The Hill family has announced the funeral arrangements for New Orleans native Marquise Hill. Visitation will be Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Jacob Schoen and Son Funeral Home, 3827 Canal Street, New Orleans, La., and Saturday from 11 a.m. to noon at the Greater St. Stephen's Full Gospel Baptist Church, 2308 S. Liberty, New Orleans.

Services will be held beginning Saturday at noon at St. Stephen's. Bishop Paul S. Morton, Sr., will be officiating.

Interment will follow at Restlawn Park and Mausoleum.

Patriots chairman and CEO Robert Kraft booked a charter flight for the team to fly to New Orleans en masse. The team has a passing camp scheduled for Friday morning, and the flight will allow players to arrive for visitation that evening without having to make individual travel plans.
