WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- The late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was laid to rest on Tuesday at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.
She was buried next to her husband, Martin Ginsburg, who died in 2010.
The liberal icon made history last week by becoming the first woman in U.S. history to lie in state at the Capitol.
A renowned champion of women's rights, Ginsburg died earlier this month at the age of 87 due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer.
She was the second woman appointed to the highest court in the United States.
U.S. President Donald Trump has nominated conservative federal appellate judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill Ginsburg's seat.
Barrett, who sits on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, met with Republican senators on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, as her confirmation process is underway.
