A U.S. defense official confirms that the late Ted Kennedy will be buried at Arlington Cemetery -- date and time still TBD.
The official expects he will be buried at the John F. Kennedy gravesite, but that is also still TBD.
Any sitting or former senator is eligible for burial at Arlington Cemetery, but Kennedy's military service alone does not qualify him for burial there since he did not retire from the Armed Forces. His military service alone only qualifies him to be cremated and inurned at the Columbarium at Arlington

Quite a place.....I wanted to go to their Medal of Honor Pavilion - since I knew Mitchell Paige, who's buried there - but there was some huge traffic clogging event in that area.

“Does anyone think its weird that Kennedy had John-John cremated and dumped in the ocean, while he gets buried in Arlington? “
Dumped in the ocean on our dime, no less: the USS Briscoe DD-997.
Now, just how did “John-John” and his wife rate a burial at sea aboard a United States warship? Seriously.
