First woman to be so honored -- also to have casket viewing at the Supreme Court building
from USATODAY dot-com online article
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Monday that Ginsburg's casket would be placed in National Statuary Hall, where a formal ceremony will be held for invited guests only.
A separate ceremony will be held Wednesday morning at the Supreme Court for Ginsburg's family, close friends and members of the court. The public then will have the chance to pay their respects from about 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday, and from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday, under the portico at the top of the courthouse steps.
A private interment service will be held next week at Arlington National Cemetery, where Ginsburg's late husband Martin was buried in 2010.
Ginsburg, 87, died late Friday on the eve of Rosh Hashana following a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
