It seems that whenever a senator or member of Congress dies during the session, he is buried at the expense of the government, (the ceremony not coming under the head of internal improvement), and the arrangements for the funeral are not interfered with by his friends, but become matters of State.

I transcribed the order of the procession as being rather grand and stately.
Chaplains of both Houses.
Physicians who attend the deceased.
Committee of arrangement.
THE BODY, (Pall borne by six members.) The Relations of the deceased, with the Senators and Representatives of the State to which he belonged, as Mourners.
Sergeant at arms of the House of Representatives.
The House of Representatives, Their Speaker and Clerk preceding.
The Senate of the United States.
The Vice-president and Secretary preceding, THE PRESIDENT The procession was of considerable extent, but not on foot, and the majority of the carriages were hired for the occasion.

The body was interred in an open "grave yard" near the city.

I did not see the monument erected on this occasion, but I presume it was in the same style as several others I had remarked in the same burying-ground, inscribed to the memory of members who had died at Washington.

These were square blocks of masonry without any pretension to splendour..
