City officials announced that Barry’s body will like in repose for 24 hours at the District government building beginning on the morning of December 4. Barry will then be driven around the city in a processional, which will end at a church near his home in the southeast of the city. That church will host a community memorial service on December 5. The public memorial will be held December 6. Barry served four terms as mayor, and died at United Medical Center on Sunday, November 23 at the age of 78.
