Kennedy Onassis was the main organizer of her husband's state funeral, which was inspired from Abraham Lincoln's funeral. She wanted her husband's casket to be closed, even though her brother-in-law and Attorney General, Robert F. Kennedy wanted it to be open. The funeral service was held at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington D.C., with the burial taking place at nearby Arlington National Cemetery. Many admired her role and appearance at the funeral. The "Evening Standard" wrote "Jacqueline Kennedy has given the American people ... one thing they have always lacked: Majesty".
