The procession will then take Metzger Road to Sunset Drive before ending on DeCourcey Street.
Officials are limiting the gravesite service to family and local law enforcement.
Ries served in law enforcement for nearly three decades.
He joined the Wayne County Sheriff's Office in 1996 and later moved to the Rittman Police Department in 2015.
Ries leaves behind his wife of 29 years and their two daughters.

"We were deputies together — when he got promoted to sergeant, he became my sergeant and we worked midnight shift for many years," former deputy Jason Crawford said. "He left the sheriff's office before I did and when I decided to leave the sheriff's office, he got me on at Rittman."
What happened?
Ries was killed Sunday while responding to a dispute that also claimed the lives of Christine McWilliams and her 13-year-old daughter, McKinley.
