Honoring New Jersey’s
EMS Heroes

The New Jersey State EMS Honor Guard is dedicated to representing the state’s Emergency Medical Services community—and the individuals who serve within it.

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT

Built for the Emergency Medical Services Community

UNITED BY SERVICE

Police and fire departments have long-standing Honor Guard traditions, but those opportunities are far less common within Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Many EMS agencies simply don’t have the size, funding, or resources to maintain an Honor Guard of their own.

The New Jersey State EMS Honor Guard was created to fill that gap. As an independent statewide organization, we bring EMS professionals together across employers, agencies, and communities to participate in Honor Guard service and help ensure these services are available throughout New Jersey.

OUR MISSION IN ACTION

How We Serve

Funeral & Memorial Honors

We provide ceremonial honors that recognize the service of Emergency Medical Services professionals.

Ceremonies & Special Events

We participate in retirements, commemorations, and other occasions that recognize members of the EMS profession.

Community Outreach

We represent New Jersey EMS at parades, conferences, community events, ceremonies, and other special occasions.

Honor Guard Training

We educate EMS professionals and agencies with the protocols, skills, and knowledge to prepare for Honor Guard service.

Request Honor Guard Services

The New Jersey State EMS Honor Guard is available to assist families and Emergency Medical Services agencies with funeral and memorial honors, ceremonial support, and other Honor Guard services.

Honor Guard services are provided at no charge.

YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

Help Make Our Service Possible

There is no charge to request the New Jersey State EMS Honor Guard, but there are real costs involved in maintaining and deploying an Honor Guard.

Donations help cover uniforms, flags, ceremonial equipment, training, travel, and other operational needs. Your support allows us to provide Honor Guard services without passing those costs on to the families and agencies that request them.

New Jersey State EMS Honor Guard, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
EIN: 39-3432813. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
