The Call

Who was with Nixon when he suffered his stroke, and who called the ambulance? Did Nixon live alone after his wife's death, or did he have a hospice nurce or live-in servants with him? 98.221.131.77 (talk) 09:42, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Laying in repose"

Laying what in repose?--Wetman (talk) 01:24, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is a term used for a casket that lies somewhere. Just like lying in state is the term for when a casket is placed in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, lying in repose is anywhere else (if I'm not mistaken). --Happyme22 (talk) 02:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

During his Presidency, Nixon had requested that if he were to die while in office, a slow rendition of "California, Here I Come" would be played instead of the traditional funeral march (similar to a Jazz funeral). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.178.228.88 (talk) 20:44, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

State funeral

According to the Military District of Washington [1], Nixon's funeral in 1994 was classified as a state funeral, even though no official ceremonies occurred in Washington, DC, per the family's wishes.

There was some dispute in the past, and it is documented in news accounts, whether Nixon was afforded a "full" state funeral. While state funerals enjoy varying degrees of pomp and circumstance, and Nixon's did not include many of the trappings of other state funerals, his funeral was nonetheless considered an official state affair. Happyme22 (talk) 06:00, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To reemphasize --- this was indeed a state funeral. Every president of the United States is automatically, without question afforded a state funeral. President Nixon and/or his family chose not to have any events in Washington; that did not change its designation as a state funeral.
