Memorial Rig

Honoring Our Heroes

The Memorial Rig stands as a symbol of honor, tradition, and deep respect for our brothers and sisters who have answered their final alarm. Dedicated to providing a dignified tribute, the Rig is available to support funeral services and memorials for fallen firefighters. Our team ensures that every detail upholds the traditions and values of the fire service, offering comfort to families and honoring the legacy of those who served with courage and dedication.

Take a journey through the transformation of the Memorial Rig—from its acquisition as a retired apparatus to its full restoration into a tribute-worthy vehicle. This slideshow captures the craftsmanship, dedication, and teamwork that brought the project to life.

To preserve the historical legacy of firefighting and ensure fallen firefighters receive a proper and respectful farewell, the Detroit Firemen’s Fund has restored a 1937 Seagrave Safety Sedan. This classic vehicle has been transformed into a full-time, dignified memorial rig—made possible by the dedication of volunteers, craftsmen, and generous supporters.

These images highlight the Memorial Rig in service across Metro Detroit, standing in solemn tribute at funerals, memorials, and events honoring fallen firefighters. Each scene is a reminder of the lives and legacies we vow never to forget.

Originally used by the Detroit Fire Department, the Seagrave Safety Sedan is ideal for memorial services: fully enclosed, low to the ground, and able to accommodate pallbearers riding safely inside. The rig offers a respectful and solemn way to transport those who gave their lives in the line of duty.

This restoration project is not only a tribute to the fallen but also a living symbol of brotherhood and remembrance. The Memorial Rig is made available to departments throughout Michigan and Windsor, honoring tradition and service wherever it is called.
