Former US Vice President Dick Cheney's funeral was held at the Washington National Cathedral on Thursday, but the location of his final resting place remains unknown. The 84-year-old's casket arrived at the cathedral with a plain cloth draped over it, sparking speculation that he might not be laid to rest at the US Capitol, a tradition typically reserved for high-ranking government officials. The ceremony was notable for the absence of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who claimed they were not invited. In contrast, President Joe Biden and his Vice President, Kamala Harris, attended the service, along with former President George W. Bush and his successor, Mike Pence. Her eldest daughter, Liz Cheney, delivered a poignant eulogy, praising her father's unwavering commitment to the US Constitution and his refusal to prioritize party loyalty over national unity. 'For him, a choice between defense of the Constitution and defense of your political party was no choice at all,' she said. 'He knew that bonds of party must always yield to the single bond we share as Americans.' As the nation mourns the loss of a polarizing figure, the Cheney family has maintained a veil of secrecy around his burial plans, leaving many to wonder where he will ultimately be laid to rest.
