The New Orleans Saints and Pelicans will be well represented at the funeral service for former owner Tom Benson, who died last week.
Top team executives Dennis Lauscha and Mickey Loomis will be among the eight pallbearers carrying the casket.
Benson's service will also include four honorary pallbearers behind the casket -- Drew Brees, Anthony Davis, Sean Payton and longtime Saints administrative director Jay Romig.
Lauscha, president of both the Saints and Pelicans, confirmed the pallbearer plans on Wednesday as he left the visitation service at Notre Dame Seminary Chapel. Lauscha stood alongside Gayle Benson, Tom's widow, in the receiving line until about noon.
