Memorials were held initially near Reagan's home — some of them makeshift — and at his presidential library. The casket was then flown to Washington, D.C. on June 9, 2004 for public viewing and tributes at the U.S. Capitol. A state funeral was conducted at the Washington National Cathedral on June 11, 2004 (which was declared a National Day of Mourning and federal holiday by Executive Order of President George W. Bush). After the funeral, Reagan's casket was transported back to California for interment at the Reagan Presidential Library.
