Did Jackie Kennedy have an open casket?

As I've heard the news accounts, I don't understand where and when he could possibly been embalmed, other than at home - and given the amount of equipment that would take, I don't seriously think that happened either. So maybe the better question would be whether individuals have to be embalmed in the State of Massachusetts. Now, we must realize that he was to be buried out of state, so I don't know how that affects the decision whether to embalm or not. In Louisiana I think the law is that a body must be embalmed unless the burial takes place within 24 hours of the death. Senator Kennedy's body will NOT be buried within 24 hours, but he did not die nor will he be buried in Louisiana. I would like to know more, though.

Despite being a chain-smoker, she did not take any major effort to curtail this habit, until shortly after the diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a check up in January of 1994. Her daughter Caroline convinced her to quit smoking at that time. The habit may have contributed to her death, but lymphoma is not strictly speaking a form of lung cancer.
