Funeral services for Lindsey Graham delayed due to large number of dignitaries wanting to attend

Planning for funeral services for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham is being complicated by the national and international interest in attending. That and other planning challenges will delay the funeral. 

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott said that planners are finding it difficult to accommodate all the dignitaries wanting to attend, WLTX reported.

"The process of figuring out when the National Cathedral would be made available at the exact same time that the global leaders who want to come and all the other national leaders who will be there has made it a little more difficult," Scott said. 

Scott said his understanding is that an offer was made to have Graham lie in state in Washington, but final funeral arrangements are still being worked out. He said Graham's sister, Sen. Darline Graham, is hopeful services will be held next week.
