Former presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama are expected to speak at U.S. Sen. John McCain's funeral service and he will lie in state in both the nation's capital and Arizona, according to plans taking shape Sunday.
A day after McCain died of brain cancer at 81, his family, friends, and congressional and state leaders were working out details of the farewell for the decorated Vietnam War hero, prisoner of war and six-term senator.
The website for McCain's office said the senator's body will lie in state and have funeral services in Arizona on Wednesday and Thursday.
The procession will then head to Washington, D.C., where McCain will lie in state in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.
There will then be a procession past the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and a funeral service at Washington National Cathedral. A private funeral is planned at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.
