The Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board unanimously approved final arrangements for the Friday event on Monday.
The panel further agreed to extend Glenn's repose overnight to allow for the processional on Saturday. House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger said that means the doors to the Statehouse may remain open later.
