(9,350 posts)5. Private Funeral
In was announced tonight, on CBS Evening News, that Billy Graham's body will be brought to his museum and a closed coffin will rest in his childhood home. For a few days people will be able to pass by the closed coffin.
After that period there will be a private funeral. I highly doubt President Obama, or President Carter will be invited to the funeral.

In addition to these occasions, the president may order half-staff display of the flag after other tragic events.
Whether or not the death of Graham warrants it would be up to the POTUS.
