Richard Nixon did not have one. (He was entitled to one, but did not want one).

Nixon's funeral was so touching. Bob Dole made me sob.

Neither did George Washington. He and -- I think -- the next seven Presidents were honored with periods of national mourning but not state funerals. William Henry Harrison may have been the first to be honored with a state funeral. Lincoln was the first to lie in state.
