The golden casket containing George Floyd's body is surrounded by floral arrangements and pictures.
The black man died after a white police officer pressed a knee into his neck last month in Minneapolis.
The first of three memorial services is being held in the Frank J. Lindquist sanctuary at North Central University.
Organizers of this memorial and two others want the services to acknowledge the meaning Floyd had in life to his large family and the broader meaning he has assumed in death.
