So turning this back to McCain...
He will lie in state in the Capitol rotunda on Friday, being the 13th Senator to do so. Those that lie in state (and in honor as well, maybe?) typically have their coffin rest on the Lincoln Catafalque, which I think is a neat detail for these sorts of things.
That he will be buried at Annapolis is a nice gesture. I'm wondering why he went with that rather than Arlington with his father and grandfather.
Wednesday, he will lie in state in the Arizona Capitol and there will be a private service that day. After that, the public be be admitted for viewing. Another service will be held on Thursday in a church, and then at the airport as he will depart Arizona for Washington.
There will be services on Friday, and then on Saturday they will proceed along Pennsylvania Avenue to lay a wreath in his honor at The Wall. That day at 10 am, there will be the big memorial service at the National Cathedral with former presidents involved.
He will be laid to rest during a private ceremony on Sunday.
The ceremonies in the church, at the Capitol, and at the National Cathedral will all be livestreamed if anyone is interested.
