Kennedy Funeral Saturday; Burial in Arlington

Share

(Newser) – Ted Kennedy will be buried at Arlington Cemetery near his brothers, MSNBC reports. Other details are firming up: His funeral will be Saturday at Mission Church in Boston, and a two-day wake will take place Thursday and Friday at the JFK Library and Museum, also in Boston. Kennedy will be buried somewhere near JFK's eternal flame gravesite, where Bobby also lies.

Hmmm...someone suggested elsewhere that it might have been Michael Jackson's family who purchased that crypt above Marilyn Monroe, but now I gotta wonder if Teddy bid on it before he passed. No reason to think it was only John who had a thang for her.... Reply

And absolutely no one here has an issue with him being buried in Arlington National Cemetery when he never served in the military? I am disgusted. Reply
