The 74-year-old was laid to rest in a private burial service in his hometown -- his headstone inscribed simply "Ali".
Then, at a packed downtown stadium around 15-thousand people gathered for a public memorial.
On the stage, draped with the U-S and Olympic flags, a multi-faith service brought together representatives of the Christian, Jewish, Native American and Buddhist faiths.
The event was a celebration of Ali's sporting achievements, as well as his fights for social and humanitarian issues.
