Would have to count the assassinated presidents and those who died in office before the modern era too, I'd say the number is closer to double what Coastie said, so I'll go with 18.

Answer #57 sorry to both, but the number is --  11

Lincoln
Garfield
McKinley
Harding
Taft
Kennedy
Hoover
Eisenhower
Johnson
Reagan
Ford

[personally I don't know why Johnson got one, only possible reason it appears that after Kennedy all presidents are now getting one, with the exception of Nixon].

Updated to include both you mentioned minus days of public mourning, my info was outdated for this question, my fault.  Possibly could add U.S. Grant even though funeral procession was held in New York.
