Eisenhower passed away in Washington, D.C. in '69. Wouldn't his have been the last? I don't remember it though. I should. I was 22 at the time. Here's a link to info about Ike's funeral:

I believe Johnson was the last state funeral...in January of 1973. Truman died in December of 72...also a state funeral, if I remember correctly. I'll try to visit whitehouse.gov later to verify...unless someone here beats me there :)

I was a boy when Eisenhower died. I guess I was 8. I do remember seeing it on TV... in hindsight, my parents were vigilant in telling my sister and I that we were witnessing history. I can remember the riderless horse, and "the buggy" with the flag-draped coffin. Not much else. I don't know if it was a State Funeral or simply an honor.

Off topic, but I recall my parents letting my sister and I stay up well past bedtime to see Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon for the first time.

Same story: "Tonto, I want you to remember this, because it is a special moment in our history, and one day you'll be able to say that you saw it."
