(CNN)Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will lie in repose at the Supreme Court on Wednesday and Thursday so that members of the public can pay their respects, the court announced on Monday.

The casket will arrive in front of the Supreme Court just before 9:30 a.m. ET Wednesday and a private ceremony with family, close friends and the justices will take place in the Great Hall at the court. Following the ceremony, the casket will be moved under the portico at the top of the building's front steps.

Former law clerks will serve as honorary pallbearers, lining the steps as the casket arrives.

Ginsburg will then lie in state in National Statuary Hall in the United States Capitol on Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Monday. A private interment will be held next week at Arlington National Cemetery.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will lie in repose at the Supreme Court on Wednesday and Thursday, with outdoor viewings for the public on both days, the high court announced Monday. She will also lie in state at the U.S. Capitol on Friday.

Ginsburg will lie in repose below the portico at the front steps of the Supreme Court for a public viewing after a private ceremony in the Great Hall of the court at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to a news release from the court. Visitors are welcome from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday and from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday.

Supreme Court police officers will act as pallbearers as the casket arrives Wednesday, with former law clerks of Ginsburg’s lining the court’s front steps. During the ceremony, Ginsburg’s casket will rest on the Lincoln Catafalque, a platform built of pine in 1865 to bear the casket of President Abraham Lincoln while he laid in state in the Capitol Rotunda. The catafalque has been used in scores of services, including for Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., last year; for Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016; and for Justice Thurgood Marshall in 1993. A portrait of Ginsburg by Constance P. Beaty will be on display in the court’s Great Hall.

On Monday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced that Ginsburg will also lie in state in National Statuary Hall at the Capitol building on Friday. A private ceremony for invited guests will be held Friday morning, with further details to be announced. (The term “lie in state” is generally reserved for viewings of public servants that take place in a capitol building.)

She can never be replaced...ever...there is only one RBG.
