So elaborate, so long....Nancy's daughter said  that Nancy orchestrated  the entire celebration of her life, The funeral,  just as she orchestrated  her husband's life and her children's life. She was always in control.  An interesting  and multi faceted woman.

A beautiful, poignant funeral.

All that matters is that's what she wanted. I'm not having a funeral, viewing, nada.

I have also left instructions in my will as to my funeral arrangements.  Since we chose to forego parenthood, my husband and I preferred that we determine the proceedings.

I watched the ceremony on Fox News, and think they aired a thoughtful representation of Mrs. Reagan's final wishes.

@SeaMaiden  Nancy was organized and orderly, like so many on this planet.  She prepared for her funeral.  Now, that doesn't mean others would go through with every detail like she laid out.  This is a funeral for a former first lady of the finest country in the world.  I am sure many more would have like to have been asked to speak but will not get the opportunity.

I have my instructions with my will in my files and with my Executrix and her copies of all my estate planning documents.

Nancy is with Ronnie now.

The blanket of white flowers and music is beautiful.

 Rest in peace.

I wish the camera would stop cutting to Patti and Ron Jr.  They keep making a point to cut to them when they start praying.  Ron Jr. Is an outspoken atheist, and it looks so disrespectful that he isn't praying along with everyone else.

That son Ron Jr. has always been an odd ball.  His words and his sharing was odd but I think the others like so many just ignore him.

I tuned in just as Tom Brokaw was finishing up. I did hear Patti Davis and Ron speak. It was so touching, looking out at the beautiful Caifornia landscape, with its rolling hills under the fittingly cloudy sky. 

And now the rain is starting to fall.

Rest in Peace Mrs. Reagan.
