Former President Joe Biden and former Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry were among a plethora of high-profile politicians and celebrities who attended the private funeral for Tatiana Schlossberg held at The Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola in New York City on Monday.
Schlossberg, an environmental journalist and author who was the granddaughter of former President John F. Kennedy and daughter of Caroline Kennedy, died at the age of 35, following a year-and-a-half-long battle with acute myeloid leukemia.
Her funeral was held at the Jesuit Catholic Church on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It was a private, invitation-only service not open to the general public.
Biden, along with his wife, former first lady Jill Biden, were photographed by Fox News Digital departing the church following the service.

Kerry was also photographed outside the church. Kerry, a longtime Democratic senator from Massachusetts, served as Secretary of State under former President Barack Obama as well as a special climate envoy under Biden.
Several other influential Democrats, including Obama political strategist David Axelrod, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and former New York City Mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, were seen outside the church.
Attendees of Schlossberg’s funeral also included several high-profile media personalities and figures, including late-night host David Letterman, The New Yorker editor David Remnick, renowned fashion designer Carolina Herrera and jazz-pop artist Jon Batiste. “Saturday Night Live” veteran and late-night host Seth Meyers was also photographed exiting the church.

Born and raised in New York City, Schlossberg built a career as a voice on climate and environmental issues after earning a bachelor’s in history from Yale University and a master’s degree in American history from the University of Oxford.
In 2024, Schlossberg was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and shared her experience publicly in a personal essay for The New Yorker in November 2025.
“My parents and my brother and sister, too, have been raising my children and sitting in my various hospital rooms almost every day for the last year and a half,” she wrote at the time.
Schlossberg also explained how doctors discovered her disease while she was hospitalized after giving birth to her second child, a daughter.
She explained in her essay how doctors spotted that her white-blood-cell count “looked strange.”

She and her husband, George Moran, whom she married in 2017, also had a son.
After hearing from a doctor that she had “a year, maybe” to live, Schlossberg told how her first thought was that “my kids, whose faces live permanently on the inside of my eyelids, wouldn’t remember me.”
In her essay, she also predicted that her son “might have a few memories, but he’ll probably start confusing them with pictures he sees or stories he hears.”
