Senator Ted Kennedy Funeral & Burial Information Released
Details for the burial and public and private memorial services honoring the life of Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy have been released.
Senator Kennedy, the last surviving brother of the Kennedy Family Dynasty, died at his home on Cape Cod Tuesday night after a courageous yearlong battle against brain cancer. He was 77.
A motorcade will carry Kennedy, who passed away Tuesday, from Hyannis Port, Mass., to Boston on Thursday, where he will lie in state at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library until Friday.
The public is invited to memoralize one of our nation’s longest-serving senators between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday.
Between 7 and 9 p.m. on Friday, a private memorial service will be held at the library. The funeral Mass will be at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Basilica — known as the Mission Church — in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston on Saturday.
According to The Associated Press, Senator Kennedy will be buried near his slain brothers, President John F. and Senator Robert Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery in Northern Virginia at 5 PM on Aug. 29.
Kennedy’s memoir, True Compass, is complete and set to be published in the fall.

It is sad that anyone dies, but this man is a criminal who murdered a girl and left her in the water overnight, before reporting it the next day. He DOES NOT deserve all the accolades he is receiving. He has NOT paid his debt to society. He has never in his life had to make a decision like the average American has to make daily on what they will use their limited resources for, which bills can be paid today and which ones have to be put off.
