Long's body, dressed in a tuxedo, lay in an open double casket (of bronze with a glass lid) in the State Capitol rotunda.
Some 200,000 people entered Baton Rouge for his funeral.
Tens of thousands saw the funeral in front of the Capitol on September 12; presiding was Gerald L. K. Smith, co-founder of Share Our Wealth and subsequently of the America First Party.
Long was buried on the grounds of the new State Capitol, and a statue at his grave depicts his achievements.
Within the Capitol, a plaque marks the site of the assassination.

On September 16, 1935, an inquest was held by the state authorities.
Only fervent Longites were allowed to testify, including a judge who hadn't even witnessed the shooting.
No ballistic or medical evidence was examined.
Long's allies in the Democratic Party quickly took advantage of the situation.
Insinuating that Long's assassination was part of a larger conspiracy, they labelled their opponents the "Assassination Party".
They published a 50 page propaganda pamphlet: "Why Huey Long Was Killed!!"
However, a federal probe found no evidence of a political conspiracy.
In the following gubernatorial election, pro-Long campaigners carried containers of faux blood, declaring "Here it is, like the blood Huey Long shed for you, the blood that stained the floor as it poured from his body.
Are you going to vote for those who planned this deed and carried it into execution."
Their chosen candidate, Oscar K. Allen, was elected in a landslide.
