He died December 28 at the age of 82 after a four-year battle with pancreatic cancer. He served in the U.S. Senate representing Nevada for three decades.
Senate Majority Leader Schumer kicked off tributes during the late Democratic senator's last trip to the Capitol.

Following Reid's departure from Congress, Schumer became the Democratic Senate leader, a post he still holds.
But the Democratic leader used his eulogy as an opportunity to slam Republicans and promote supporting change to the filibuster.
'He took great care of the Senate as an institution, but he also knew that the Senate had to adapt to changing time,' Schumer said. 
Reid once called efforts to scrap the filibuster dangerous, but changed his tune later in his career and especially in his post-Congress years.
In 2013, Seven years after cutting a deal that preserved the filibuster, Reid went nuclear, which eliminated the 60-vote Senate threshold for executive and most judicial confirmations.
Now, with a 50-50 split Senate, Democrats want to end the filibuster so they don't need 10 Republicans to hop on board with their legislative and nominations agenda.
In 2019, Reid came out in favor of ending the filibuster entirely.
'The legislative filibuster is gone,' he in summer 2019.

'It's not a question of if, it's a question of when they'll get rid of it. And plumbing services seattle at first glance, people say, 'Oh, isn't that terrible,' but think about it. The American people must think something's wrong that to get something done you need 60 per cent of the votes. That doesn't make sense.'

President Joe Biden, who served with Reid in the Senate for 20 years, did not attend the service on Wednesday as he was already attending and giving remarks at the funeral of General Raymond Odierno in Fort Myer, Virginia on January 12
He explained that he flipped perspectives on the issue when he saw Republicans increase their use of the filibuster during Barack Obama's presidency.
'People have written, 'Reid changed the rules.' Well, I did,' he told Time in 2019.

'But I'm not the first—the rules change all the time in the Senate. Why did I change the rules? Obama had been elected president. We had over 100 judges we couldn't get confirmed.'
'So we had to do something,' Reid added, 'and I did it.'
Schumer called Reid his 'friend and mentor' and said the lifelong politician wouldn't want all of the pomp and circumstance surrounding his death.
Many praised Reid as a lawmaker who preferred 'pragmatism over popularity'.
'Harry never forgot where he came from,' Schumer said.
