I believe today's ceremony was called the "State Funeral." So it would seem to be a funeral.
To them, a funeral includes the burial.
Lincoln was put on a train and had funerals along the way for many days while going back to Illinois.
Washington had funerals without the body all across the country for months.
The entire country get's involved and pays respect.
It was the funeral procession.
The body will lie in state until tomorrow night.
The funeral is FRIDAY.....
Man. Can't you people read a schedule?
