United State Presidents are given a State Funeral after they die. While a "State" event, the funeral is not one where each country is expected to send their head of state, or some other senior government official. When a representative is needed, most countries send their Ambassador to the USA. 

The choice to send a royal (or other senior government official) is based on that president's relationship and work with that country. Or a personal connection between that royal and US President. 

This list does not include Royals from Former Monarchies. (The year listed is the year of funeral.)

Per his wishes, Harry Truman was not given a full State Funeral in Washington DC. 

Per his wishes, Richard Nixon was not given a full State funeral in Washington DC. This was likely due to him being the only US President to resign from Office.
