Kennedy are both buried in Arlington National Cemetery, which is just over the bridge from the Lincoln Memorial, across the Potomac River in Virginia.

Former US Presidents are buried wherever they or their families choose. Many are buried in their hometowns (where they were born or where they last lived). President John F. Kennedy is buried at Arlington because he was a Navy veteran and was assassinated while in office.
There is no special church or cemetery reserved for US presidents. Most are buried in places that were important in their lives. Unless they or their family request otherwise, they are given a state funeral and lie in state in the Capitol building before they are buried.
There is no special burial ground for US presidents. Most of them are buried in their home town, either on their own estates or at a local cemetery.
