Kennedy Tomb Design Planned at Arlington Cemetery
The plan calls a white wooden cross marker and a semicircular granite platform at the base of a hill to honor Senator Kennedy. A 30 foot radius granite platform will surround the grave with a 10 by 38 foot reflecting pool facing Washington across the Potomac. An east edge wall will bear quotations and a new handicapped walkway will link the grave to Kennedy’s brother. Landscaped with beech and holly, the area sits in a 22 acre site, conceived by I M Pei, within government land already set aside for the Kennedys.
