The funeral procession for John F. Kennedy on November 25, 1963, was one of the most carefully choreographed and symbolically powerful state funerals in American history. Following the Requiem Mass at St. Matthew’s Cathedral, the flag-draped casket was borne on a horse-drawn caisson through the streets of Washington, D.C., echoing the funeral of Abraham Lincoln nearly a century earlier. Jacqueline Kennedy’s decision to walk behind the caisson with her children emphasized both dignity and public mourning, creating indelible images that resonated worldwide. The procession culminated at Arlington National Cemetery, where full military honors were rendered, reinforcing the ceremonial gravity of the moment and cementing the funeral procession as a defining visual and emotional chapter of the Kennedy legacy.
