Procession at the Ceremony in Washington for the burial of President Warren H. HARDING in 1927
Body of the American President Gerald FORD in the Rotunda of the Capitol on 30/12/2006
The overall planning and decision to hold a state funeral is determined by the sitting President and the family of the deceased.
If the family agrees, there is a whole ceremony that must be followed... The President's casket is brought to Washington, D.C., where it remains for two days in the Capitol Rotunda for a wake where Americans can come and pay their respects to the casket.

Funeral procession in Washington of President Franklin D. ROOSEVELT on April 14, 1945
On
the day of the funeral, a procession is established, as here during the
funeral procession of Franklin D. ROOSEVELT (32nd President from 1933
to 1945). It takes the direction of the Capitol from "Constitution Avenue". Units of the different army corps march at the front of the procession.Funeral procession in Washington of President Franklin D. ROOSEVELT on April 14, 1945

In front of the Capitol in Washington, the 25/11/1963, the body of Kennedy is put on the funeral carriage
After
the drama of DALLAS in November 1963, the President John Fitzerald
KENNEDY (35th President from 1961 to 1963) will also have right to a
national funeral with military honors. The widow of the deceased
requested that a black horse without a rider and boots back in the
stirrups follow the casket.
On
this photo we can see this black horse following the carriage. The
symbolism of this horse equipped with an ornamental caparison, with the
sword and the boots upside down in the stirrups represents the fallen
soldier who will never ride his horse again. This symbolism has been
done for centuries in some armies for officers in cavalry regiments.
