A look at the list of attendees and participants of late Republican Senator John McCain's memorial services may surprise you.
But McCain wasn't just any Republican senator. A dubbed Lion of the Senate, McCain showed a certain civility toward his Congress colleagues with opposing views. He had Democrat friends. He stressed bipartisanship.
That emphasis on a bipartisanship has continued days after his death to an aggressive form of brain cancer.
On Thursday, 11 Democrat senators attended McCain's memorial service at North Phoenix Baptist Church. Former Vice President Joe Biden spoke along with Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald.
According to the New York Times, McCain began planning memorial services shortly after he learned of his diagnosis of glioblastoma.
He began making phone calls in the spring to the people he wanted to be a part of his memorial services.
Here's a list of those people:

Joe Biden
