The Washington National Cathedral will hold the funeral for former Secretary of State Colin Powell on Nov. 5, according to a press release from the cathedral.
The service will take place at noon, the release said. It will not be open to the public, and one must have an authorized ticket to attend.
“Beyond his military and diplomatic success, Secretary Powell became a universally respected North Star on the nation’s moral compass,” said the Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith, dean of Washington National Cathedral.
Powell died Monday due to complications from the coronavirus while battling cancer.
“[In] this moment of painful polarization, we mourn the loss of his idealism, his nonpartisan patriotism, his decency, and his call to put America above personal ambition,” Hollerith said.
