  The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Nation honors Ford under soaring arches of cathedral
An elaborate service at the Washington National Cathedral unfolded in the spirit of one of its musical selections — "Fanfare for the Common Man" — as powerful people celebrated the modesty and humility of a leader propelled to the presidency by the Watergate crisis that drove his predecessor from office.
On a national day of mourning that closed most of the government as well as financial markets, the cortege brought his casket to the cathedral in blustery winds that blew off the hats of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Peter Pace, and members of the honor guard outside the service.
Among others at the cathedral: Nancy Reagan, who mourned her husband Ronald there in 2004; former Secretary of State Colin Powell; and former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a presidential prospect for 2008.

  Cathedral (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cathedral are a heavy metal/doom metal band from Coventry, England founded in 1990 by Lee Dorrian (a former member of Napalm Death), Mark 'Griff' Griffiths (a former Carcass roadie) and Garry 'Gaz' Jennings (formerly of Acid Reign).
Cathedral was formed after Lee Dorrian and Mark Griffiths met and discussed their love for doom bands like Candlemass, Dream Death, Pentagram, Trouble, and of course Witchfinder General, who Dorrian would later go on to name a song after.
Thus, Cathedral was born as a death/doom band on their first releases, but overtime became what many consider to be "modern doom metal" and today, they are a stoner/groove metal band with some doom influences.

Most cathedrals were built during the Middle Ages and reflect the two main styles of medieval architecture (see English architecture: medieval): Romanesque architecture, or Norman architecture, and Gothic architecture.

And with Cathedral, because there is no fixed beginning, middle or end, there is less of an emphasis on location and less of a need for everyone to coexist in the same physical space.
