Lindsey Graham's final moments in Columbia and Washington, D.C., were spent donning an American-flag-draped casket surrounded by friends and family.
Columbia held nearly four hours of memorials Wednesday that included stops at the Statehouse and First Baptist Church. The downtown Columbia event attracted supporters and elected officials who had crossed paths with Graham.
On Tuesday, the nation's capital city celebrated the late senator's life with ceremonies attended by international leaders and friends in Congress.
The Wednesday events in South Carolina's capital city — from procession to church service — more intimately involved the public than the D.C. memorials that came before.
