On Friday, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away at the age of 87. Now, her final resting place has been revealed.
The New York Post reported that the Supreme Court has announced that Ginsburg will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Washington D.C. The burial will be private, and no details about a public funeral or memorial service have been announced at this time.
Ginsburg will join thirteen other Supreme Court justices who are buried in Arlington, including former Chief Justices Earl Warren, William Rehnquist, William Howard Taft and Warren Burger. Associate Justices Thurgood Marshall, John Paul Stevens and Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. are buried in the cemetery as well.

Ginsburg died on Friday after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
“Our nation has lost a jurist of historic stature,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said of Ginsburg after her death. “We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her—a tireless and resolute champion of justice.”
Ginsburg served on the Supreme Court for 27 years after being appointed by Bill Clinton back in 1993.
“She led an amazing life. What else can you say?” President Donald Trump said Friday night after hearing of her death. “She was an amazing woman whether you agree or not she was an amazing woman who led an amazing life.”
CNN reported that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden described her as a “giant in the legal profession” and a “beloved figure,” adding that people “should focus on the loss of the justice and her enduring legacy.”
Former President Barack Obama addressed Ginsburg’s passing in a statement as well.
“Over a long career on both sides of the bench — as a relentless litigator and an incisive jurist — Justice Ginsburg helped us see that discrimination on the basis of sex isn’t about an abstract ideal of equality; that it doesn’t only harm women; that it has real consequences for all of us. It’s about who we are — and who we can be,” Obama said. “Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy and its ideals. That’s how we remember her.”
