Actually, the Freep did mention the police escort. The 9th paragraph from that article:
The James H. Cole Funeral Home, located next door to the museum on West Grand Boulevard in Detroit, donated two floral hearses, used to transport the tributes. The hearses were escorted by a Detroit police car and followed by nearly a dozen cars that were greeted by even more cars and people at the cemetery.
