Most government offices will be closed by executive order of the president, but as yet, the Post Office hasn't issued any news release. I'd expect them to close, however.

In a separate govt order, Bush ordered the closure Tuesday of federal departments and different governmental businesses not linked with the nationwide safe practices or protection of the country or necessary to public organization, as a mark of comprehend for Ford.

Yes. Acording to the Washington Post, when President Reagan died, it cost $423 million dollars in taxpayer money to cover payroll for Federal employees to have the day off. This does not include postal service employees! I think it is time for this "tradition" to end.
