WARREN, Mich. (CBSMiami/AP) — Funeral services are set for two of three Michigan Marines killed in a Black Hawk helicopter crash off the coast of Florida.

The chopper crashed during a training mission earlier this month.

Staff Sergeants Marcus Bawol of Warren, Trevor Blaylock of Lake Orion and Andrew Seif of Holland were among seven Marines and four Army soldiers killed March 10 when the helicopter crashed along Florida's Panhandle in a nighttime training exercise in dense fog.

Bawol's funeral is Thursday at St. Louise de Marillac Church in Warren.

A funeral for Blaylock is at 11 a.m. Saturday at Lake Orion United Methodist Church. On Wednesday, hundreds lined the streets as his body was brought to a funeral home.
