Did Nixon get a state funeral?
Edited on Sun Jun-06-04 01:10 PM by Fenris
Or did he forfeit that honor by resigning? I was too young to have noticed.

1. His family declined the honor, but they could have requested it.

2. I believe his family
just wanted him planted ASAP before he turned into a werewolf. No state funeral, just a service and private burial at his library.

3. I think Clinton and the other living presidents (except
Raygun of course) attended Nixon's funeral. Nancy Raygun may have attended as Ronnie's representative.

4. Or perhaps like all powerful vampires ...
His head was incinerated and buried elsewhere. Hope nobody ever desecrates the grave -- who knows what'll happen if they pull that stake out of his heart?
