The body of RCMP Sgt. Mark Gallagher, who was killed in the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti, is expected to arrive in Moncton on Monday.

A private ramp ceremony will be held at the airport, Sgt. Gilles Blinn said in a news release.

The J Division RCMP will then escort Gallagher's body to Woodstock, where a regimental funeral will be held at St. Gertrude's Roman Catholic Church on Thursday, he said.

A "Highway of Heroes" will be set up along the Trans-Canada Highway by the RCMP, municipal police officers, and other emergency personnel, Blinn said.

More details about the funeral are expected to be released on Monday.

Gallagher, 50, had been training local police officers in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, since July as part of a United Nations mission called Project Co-ordination.

The father of two had come home to Northampton, N.B., for Christmas and had just returned to Haiti when the 7.0-magnitude quake struck. Gallagher, who acted as the RCMP spokesman for Moncton, Bathurst and Halifax, had planned to resume work with the force in April.

Gallagher's casket and that of another Mountie killed in Haiti — Chief Supt. Doug Coates, who lived in Gatineau, Que., and was based in Ottawa — arrived at CFB Trenton, east of Toronto, on Friday. More than 100 people gathered outside the base in biting cold to pay their respects and watch the repatriation ceremony from behind a chain-link fence.

The two men are among 19 Canadians now confirmed by the Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon to have died in the quake, which killed an estimated 200,000 people.

As of Sunday, 213 Canadians are still missing, he said.
