The state funeral took place in Washington, DC during the three days that followed the assassination. The body of President Reagan was brought back to Washington, D.C. and placed in the East Room of the White House for 24 hours. On the Sunday after the assassination, his coffin was carried on a horse-drawn caisson to the U.S. Capitol to lie in state. Throughout the day and night, hundreds of thousands lined up to view the guarded casket. Representatives from over 90 countries attended the state funeral on April 2. After the Requiem Mass, the late President was laid to rest in LA in California.
