I've heard back from my mom, [Bad username or unknown identity: <darttn"], she says:
"I was there. I was out of town when he was assinated, but flew back the same day his body was returned to D.C. It delayed my flight, because the one coming from Dallas was overflying Mobile, Ala, which was where I was leaving from to go back to D.C. So yes - I did watch his funeral procession with the caissons, etc.
Then later when Jackie put up the eternal flame on his grave, I watched that ceremony as well."
I have a good excuse for missing it all--I wasn't born yet...
