On bottom steps are William Randolph Hearst with veiled woman (Millicent Hearst?) and boy (William Randolph Hearst, Jr.?)
A black-and-white image depicts a funeral procession on a wide stone staircase lined with dark metal handrails and surrounded by dark, leafy foliage. In the lower right foreground, a tall man in a dark overcoat and a woman wearing a long dark coat and a floor-length black mourning veil walk down the steps. A young boy in a dark suit walks between them. Behind them, several men in dark suits and overcoats follow, including two men in the center carrying large floral wreaths. Further up the stairs, a dense crowd of mourners in formal attire and several uniformed police officers observe the descent. The scene is captured from a slightly elevated side angle. Along the top edge of the image, handwritten cursive text reads "Funeral of Phoebe Apperson Hearst," "S.F. Call-Post," and "16786."
