OUR MISSION
The Tennessee Respiratory Care Honor Guard is honored to provide a ceremonial tribute for respiratory therapists whose funeral or memorial service is held within the state of Tennessee.
With the permission of the family, members of the Honor Guard stand in respectful tribute at the service of your loved one. Through a brief ceremonial presentation and words of remembrance, we honor a fellow respiratory therapist who dedicated their life to bringing comfort and breath to those in need.
It is our privilege to recognize the compassion, commitment, and service of a colleague who spent their career caring for others.

About the Honor Guard
The Tennessee Respiratory Care Honor Guard is a group of respiratory therapists who volunteer their time to honor fellow therapists at the end of their life’s journey. Respiratory therapists dedicate their careers to helping others breathe, often working quietly behind the scenes in moments of great need. The Honor Guard exists to recognize that dedication and to pay tribute to colleagues who devoted their lives to caring for others. Through a respectful ceremonial tribute, we acknowledge the service, compassion, and commitment of a fellow respiratory therapist.
