The state funeral of U.S. President John F. Kennedy took place in Washington, D.C., during the three days that followed his assassination on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.[1]
Kennedy's body was brought back to Washington after his assassination. Early on November 23, six military pallbearers carried the flag-draped coffin into the East Room of the White House, where he lay in repose for 24 hours.[2][3] Then, his flag-draped coffin was carried on a horse-drawn caisson to the Capitol to lie in state. Throughout the day and night, hundreds of thousands lined up to view the guarded casket,[4][5] with a quarter million passing through the rotunda during the 18 hours of lying in state.[4]
Kennedy's funeral service was held on November 25, at St. Matthew's Cathedral.[6] The Requiem Mass was led by Cardinal Richard Cushing.[6] About 1,200 guests, including representatives from over 90 countries, attended.[7][8] After the service, Kennedy was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
