The late Rep. John Murtha will be buried next week in the heart of the Pennsylvania district he represented for 3 1/2 decades.

Murtha's family said Tuesday that the viewing for Murtha will be Sunday and Monday at Duca's Funeral Home in Westmont, just west of Johnstown. He will be buried Tuesday in Grandview Cemetery, also in Westmont. The times of the viewing and burial will be announced later.

Murtha, D-Pa., died Monday at a hospital at age 77 after complications from gallbladder surgery. Gov. Ed Rendell must now decide when to schedule a special election to replace Murtha, who in 1974 became the first Vietnam War combat veteran elected to Congress and went on to win election to 18 terms.
