Why was Jackie Kennedy buried next to JFK?
In 1994, Jackie Kennedy died after a battle with cancer and, although she had remarried and again been widowed, was laid to rest in the same crypt as her first husband, JFK.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was buried at the site alongside Kennedy following her death in May 1994. Senator Edward M. Kennedy was buried about 100 feet (30 m) south of Robert Kennedy's memorial between two maple trees shortly after his death on August 25, 2009, from brain cancer.
She became a widow the a second time when Onassis died and was again single when she died of cancer in 1994. Due to this status, she was laid to rest next to JFK and their two infant children in Arlington National Cemetery. IN THE END, she came back.
After Connally was hit, he shouted, "Oh, no, no, no. My God. They're going to kill us all!"
The garment is now stored out of public view in the National Archives. It will not be seen by the public until at least 2103, according to a deed of Caroline Kennedy, Kennedy's sole surviving heir.
They married on 20 October 1968 on Onassis's private Greek island, Skorpios. Onassis offered Mrs. Kennedy US$3 million to replace her Kennedy trust fund, which she would lose because she was remarrying. After Onassis's death, she would receive US$150,000 each year for the rest of her life.
The former First Lady's executors valued her estate at $43.7 million, court documents show, though the fantastic prices some of her property brought at auction have prompted an Internal Revenue Service audit to determine whether its true value was closer to $73 million.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's funeral Mass took place just a few blocks away from her New York apartment on May 23, 1994. Jackie's funeral Mass was held at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola. The church was the same Catholic parish where Jacqueline had her baptism in 1929.
On July 16, 1999, Kennedy departed from Essex County Airport in Fairfield, New Jersey at the controls of his Piper Saratoga light aircraft. He was traveling with his wife Carolyn and sister-in-law Lauren Bessette to attend the wedding of his cousin Rory Kennedy at Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.
The eternal flame at the burial site of John F. Kennedy was First Lady Jackie's idea, supposedly inspired by a similar grave flame that she'd seen in fashionable Paris. She lit the flame herself, with a gas-soaked rag on a stick, at the conclusion of JFK's burial.
