Mourners will be allowed inside in groups of 10 and will be asked to wear a mask.
Friday night, hundreds marched down Main Street to protest the death and to vow that something like this will never happen again.
On Thursday, Floyd was memorialized by family and friends at Minneapolis’ North Central University, an event that included a “national eulogy” by the Rev. Al Sharpton and a “national criminal justice system address” by Floyd family attorney Ben Crump. Artists have painted murals of his image on city streets. Protesters across the world have yelled his name and demanded justice while facing off against police officers dressed in riot gear. Cities have come to a halt, enforcing curfews and closing down transit systems to discourage public gatherings and looting.
