Mayor London Breed was present to greet the senator’s casket.
Relatives and fellow dignitaries accompanied a motorcade that took Feinstein’s casket from the airport to Sinai Memorial Chapel, according to NBC Bay Area reporter Alyssa Goard, who posted a series of updates on social media site X about the arrival.
Outside the San Francisco chapel, police blocked traffic around Divisadero Street and Geary Boulevard to make way for the procession. A group of people clad in black stood on the sidewalk by the parked hearse as the sun set.
Feinstein died Thursday night at her home in Washington, D.C., her office said Friday. She was 90 years old.
