Dunno if it's automatic (I assume it is), but if you still have friends in political power, you're getting one. Suffice to say, the presidency and both houses of Congress weren't going to say "nope, not for this one" on Reagan.

I'm vaguely recalling that Thurgood Marshall got a state funeral. Other S. Ct. Justices? Members of Congress?
