A U.S. defense official confirms that the late Ted Kennedy will be buried at Arlington Cemetery -- date and time still TBD.
The official expects he will be buried at the John F. Kennedy gravesite, but that is also still TBD.
Any sitting or former senator is eligible for burial at Arlington Cemetery, but Kennedy's military service alone does not qualify him for burial there since he did not retire from the Armed Forces. His military service alone only qualifies him to be cremated and inurned at the Columbarium at Arlington

they ought to cremate him and flush him down the toilet.
Well...it’s where his brothers are.....sooooo....whatever.
Folks here are going to go bunkers hearing about where Sen.Ted will be buried.
Arlington?
After how he smeared our troops???????????????????
Kennedy smears President Bush and our troops on the US Senate floor:
He described the Iraq war as a fraud “made up in Texas” as part of political strategy — accused the President of the US of “telling lie, after lie, after lie”, in order to go to war in Iraq.
Sen. Edward Kennedy Smears the Nation
“On March 19, 2004, President Bush asked: ‘Who would prefer that Saddam’s torture chambers still be open?’ Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam’s torture chambers reopened under new management — U.S. management.”
A speech on the Senate floor, May 10, 2004.
And how many Presidents?
I know a bridge from which they could sprinkle his ashes.
I wondered about where he would be buried, and expected this would be the decision. No doubt he will be buried at the JFK/RFK gravesite.
Arlington? Not Chapaquidic?
Humm puts a dent in my future “Urination Tour” plans. I will not piss on the sacred ground at Arlington. Too bad heroes have to lay in rest with the murderous scum.
This is disgusting.
Only Kennedy and Taft are buried at Arlington.
The only other President to be buried outside of his native state is Woodrow Wilson who is buried at the National Cathedral.
Accidentally signed up for four years after he got expelled from Harvard. Later his hitch was reudced to two years.
He served in Paris instead of going to Korea. Came in a private, left a private...and returned to Harvard!
Still, he served more than some other politicians I can think of.
My wife was planning on “planting” me at Arlington. I guess I need to tell her that the nearest VA Cemetary will be fine.
He should be buried at sea.
IMO
It was during the Korean war. Daddy Joe fixed it so Ted served less than two years, at NATO HQ in Paris. He never rose above the rank of Private. Stellar service.../s
Buired at Arlington?....What for?....Are they out of fertilizer?
