Kennedy Funeral Procession to Leave Capitol for White House
The funeral rites for President Kennedy begin at noon with a burial at Arlington National Cemetery. A White House procession will form at the north portico as the caisson bears Kennedy’s body from the Capitol to the Executive Mansion. The viewing ends at 10 am, with the caisson leaving the Capitol at 11 am, drawn by horses, followed by the widow and brother Kennedy. The parade then travels down Pennsylvania Avenue to 11th Street, up 17th to Constitution, to the White House, with government leaders and former presidents in attendance.
