Graham’s office announced that funeral services will be held in Washington, D.C., on July 28 and in South Carolina on July 29. His casket will be escorted into the Capitol Rotunda for a short program that will be closed to the public but livestreamed. An invitation-only service at Washington National Cathedral is also scheduled to be livestreamed, and President Donald Trump is expected to speak there.
The South Carolina events include a procession to First Baptist Church of Columbia, a church service with first-come, first-served seating, and a private burial in Pickens County. Tim Scott said the number of global leaders wishing to attend complicated arrangements, while John Thune described the Capitol ceremony as a special honor for Graham.
