Somehow, I almost feel like I am trespassing on holy ground. Thank you so much for posting this. This video is every bit as sad as the actual event must have been.
What a truly-beautiful coffin!!!! [Was it one of the two replicas housed in museums in Houston and one other place, or was it a third one specially-made for this ceremony?] Truly, it's in far better taste and elegance than those rectangular, often-"domed" "caskets" which have neither character nor real dignity (and which then were already coming on the scene - though the domed lids were not to appear until 1908 - to make their triumph 16 years later when President Garfield was similarly murdered and he was entombed in one such). When they're of metal, they usually look garish and even mawkish... Otherwise, lovely re-enactment of the memorial ceremonies that took place then. Very tasteful, reverential and dignified. People knew how death needed to be honoured then, with suitable music (though a few pieces yet had to make it into the repertoire - the Funeral Marches of Beethoven, Chopin and Wagner), period dresses being appropriate and good acting on the part of the wearers. WELL DONE!!!
What's so spooky about it? It's a public ceremony carried out in full daylight and decent artificial lighting is added as needed. There's nothing frightful about it, as far as I can tell.
Polk as President should have hung him like he would have over Mississippi threading to leave the Union and should have been hung over the same thing that happen in 1860 while Johnson was President after Lincoln assassination on April 14, 1865
Makes me wanna cry every time
It was a beautiful very awesome reenactment it's almost like being back in 1865 fantastic great job
Rest in peace cousin Lincoln

did i miss something where was the TRAIN
50 yrs ago I touched and visually examined Lincoln’s blood. It was a moment I will never forget.
Very Good!!
R.i.p
Sadness personified...
I was half-expecting to hear a cellphone ringtone start playing, loudly, say, “Chico and the Man.”
I’m serious..

@6:15 - It's like the Philippine Catholic Song for the feast of Christ the King titled "O Kristong Haring Marangal" 💕💕
