Tim Russert buried in Petworth

[from Susan M.]

On Wash Post Dana Millbank's chat today:

Question: Where will Tim Russert be buried -- in a local cemetery, or back in Buffalo? I haven't seen anything about the burial arrangements in any of the news stories, and was hoping to eventually visit the gravesite and pay my respects. Thank you.

Dana Milbank: It was all hush-hush yesterday (although I guess an enterprising journalist would have followed the hearse). But a birdie told me it's Rock Creek Cemetery, which actually is off North Capitol St.

Though not a Catholic, I know Tim Russert was very much one. SO I too am quite surprised that he was not buried in a Catholic cemetery.

He is buried in Section C, Lot 219, Site 4.

TIM WAS SUCH A DEVOUT CATHOLIC HE WOULD HAVE BEEN BURIED IN A CATHOLIC CEMETARY

In Section C, northeast of the lily pond. Our friends at Rock Creek Cemetery have asked that visitors not leave mementoes at the Russert gravesite.
