Joe Biden and George W. Bush are the two former presidents attending Dick Cheney’s funeral, scheduled for this November 20 in Washington, D.C. Current President Donald Trump is not on the guest list. Cheney had been a fierce opponent of Trump in the latter years of his life.
Bush, who Cheney was vice president to, will also speak at the ceremony, alongside relatives, friends, and former colleagues. Former vice presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore, and Dan Quayle will also attend the bipartisan farewell to an infamously divisive figure. The full guestlist has not been disclosed.
Celebrity funerals, memorials, and vigils can be dazzling final farewell events or somber, low-key get-togethers. Either way, the death of a well-known actor, musician, sports star, or any other public figure is always headline news, and the cameras are there to record the sad occasion.
