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.
The passing of Senator Dianne Feinstein saddens the San Francisco Fire Department. We were honored to be present as she arrived at @flySFO tonight and to be with her friends and family, including her daughter, a San Francisco Fire Commissioner.

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.
