since the death of henry clay in 1852, the united states capitol rotunda has served as the venue for honoring thirty-two military officers and politicians, including twelve presidents, with a lying in state. not all who lie in state nor all for whom flags are flown at half-staff, receive a state funeral. a distinction is made between recipients who are permitted to lie in state and those who lie in honor. incumbent and past government officials whose remains are placed in the rotunda for view by the public to pay their respects will lie in state. individuals other than members of the government will lie in honor. the rotunda has been used three times for four individuals who have lain in honor, the first in 1998 for the two victims of the capitol shooting incident, in 2005 for civil rights activist rosa parks, and in 2018 for evangelist and minister billy graham.
