Senator Lindsey Graham’s memorial services will span two days, with events in Washington and South Carolina. The schedule begins Tuesday in the nation’s capital. A second service is planned for Wednesday in his home state.
The Washington ceremony will take place at the Capitol Rotunda. Colleagues and dignitaries are expected to pay their respects during the morning hours. The event will be open to invited guests only.
Following the ceremony, the senator’s body will lie in repose. This viewing period will allow lawmakers and staff to offer farewells. It continues into the late afternoon.
On Wednesday, the focus shifts to South Carolina. A funeral service will be held in the state capital. The location will accommodate a larger public gathering.
The funeral will begin in the late morning. Family members, former colleagues, and local officials will deliver remarks. The service is expected to last approximately two hours.
A private burial will follow the funeral. It will take place at a family cemetery in Graham’s hometown. Only close relatives will attend this portion.
Traffic disruptions are anticipated near both venues. Authorities advise checking local advisories for road closures. The public is encouraged to watch the services remotely if possible.
