[214] On November 22, a private funeral was held at the Church of the Heavenly Rest in New York City, attended by President Cleveland and ex-President Hayes, among other notables.[216] Arthur was buried with his family members and ancestors in the Albany Rural Cemetery in Menands, New York.[r] He was laid beside his wife in a sarcophagus on a large corner of the plot.[214] In 1889, a monument was placed on Arthur's burial plot by sculptor Ephraim Keyser of New York, consisting of a giant bronze female angel figure placing a bronze palm leaf on a granite sarcophagus.[218]
Arthur's post-presidency was the second-shortest of all presidents who lived past their presidencies, after that of James K. Polk who died just three months after leaving office.[219]

Legacy[edit]
Several Grand Army of the Republic posts were named for Arthur, including Goff, Kansas,[220] Lawrence, Nebraska,[221] Medford, Oregon,[222] and Ogdensburg, Wisconsin.
