Additional memorial services will be held in Mr. Graham\u2019s home state of South Carolina next Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced the addition of the Capitol ceremony as a tribute from Mr. Graham\u2019s many friends in Congress.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the military to state politics to decades of representing South Carolinians in Congress, Lindsey dedicated his life to giving back through public service. As we say our final goodbyes, it seems fitting for his friends and colleagues to give back to him through this special Capitol honor,\u201d the South Dakota Republican said. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Capitol ceremony on Tuesday will begin the series of funeral services. It will be closed to the public but available to view on livestream.<\/p>\n

Mr. Graham\u2019s remains will be carried into the Capitol by an armed forces body bearer team, a tribute to his decades of service in the Air Force. The ceremony will feature a memorial guard of Capitol Police officers.<\/p>\n

The Capitol ceremony will be followed by a 2 p.m. invitation-only funeral service at Washington National Cathedral, which will also be livestreamed for the public.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump will pay tribute to his friend with remarks. Other speakers to eulogize Mr. Graham will be announced later.<\/p>\n

Mr. Graham\u2019s remains will be transferred to South Carolina after the funeral service.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement agencies from across the state will host a presentation there with a pause for a F-16 flyover from the South Carolina Air National Guard, in which Graham previously served.<\/p>\n

The South Carolina State Guard caisson detachment will carry Graham\u2019s remains during the procession, which will continue from the state house down Main Street to First Baptist Church of Columbia.<\/p>\n

The funeral service at the church is open to the public, and seating is first come, first served.<\/p>\n

A private family burial in Pickens County, South Carolina, will follow the public service.<\/p>\n

Sen. Darline Graham, who was appointed to fill her brother\u2019s Senate seat and is running in the special election to replace him as the Republican nominee on the ballot in November, thanked Mr. Trump, Senate leadership and others involved in putting together the tributes.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI am grateful to all those who have come together to help honor and remember Lindsey,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
