Washington National Cathedral state funerals and livestreams

The Washington National Cathedral has hosted major state and public funerals (for example, services for President Ronald Reagan in 2004 and President George H. W. Bush in 2018) that were widely livestreamed and shared online. Photographs, video clips, and full-service streams from the cathedral are repeatedly reposted by national media and on social platforms. The cathedral's neo-Gothic architecture and ceremonial events also produce widely circulated images used in online coverage and memorial pages.
