The body of Justice Antonin Scalia arrived at the Supreme Court to lie in repose inside the court’s Great Hall to begin a day of public mourning. The flag-draped casket was carried up the steps by court police who served as pall bearers. Dozens of former clerks of the late justice who lined the court plaza served as honorary pall bearers. The current justices stood inside during the procession as the casket was placed on a catafalque used for the funeral of President Abraham Lincoln. A brief prayer service was led by the Reverend Paul Scalia, Justice Scalia’s son.
