When was Barack Obama's grandmother's funeral?

Answer 1

A private memorial service for Barack Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, was held at the First Unitarian Church on December 23, 2008. After the memorial service, Barack Obama scattered Mrs. Dunham's ashes in the ocean at Lanai Lookout, the same spot where he had scattered his mother's ashes in 1995.

A community tribute service had been held at 5 p.m. on Friday, November 14, 2008, at the National Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl, where friends and Co-workers honored her. Neither President-elect Obama nor his sister, Maya Soetero-Ng, attended the event, which was sponsored by the bank where Dunham was a vice president. They contributed a letter that the bank chairman and CEO, Al Landon, read.

Answer 2

A private memorial service was held for Madelyn Dunham at the First Unitarian Church on December 23, 2008. Then President-elect Obama attended with his wife and children and also with his sister, Maya and her family. After the service, they scattered their grandmother's ashes at the same beautiful place, Lanai Lookout, where they had done the same for their mother.

There was a public service shortly after the election that the President was unable to attend and it was conducted by the people who worked with the President's grandmother. It was held at the Punchbowl. Madelyn was obviously held in high regard by her former employer and co-workers.
