Charlie Kirk's funeral will not be an open casket event for the public memorial. While his widow, Erika Kirk, has shared deeply personal and emotional images and videos of Charlie in an open casket privately, the public funeral scheduled for September 21, 2025, at State Farm Stadium in Arizona is expected to be a memorial without open casket viewing. This is a decision rooted in privacy and respect for the family, as the widow has already shared private images publicly and the public event is meant to be a memorial rather than a viewing. The family will likely have had a burial beforehand, and the public event is more for commemorating his life.
Erika Kirk has shared poignant moments at the open casket privately, showing her grief, but the large public funeral will not include an open casket viewing.
