Jimmy Carter Funeral Services Held Nationwide

Former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at the age of 100, will be honored with a state funeral at Washington National Cathedral on Thursday, uniting all five living U.S. presidents. The week-long tribute began with ceremonies in Georgia and Atlanta, culminating in his lying in state at the U.S. Capitol. President Joe Biden will deliver a eulogy, alongside remarks from Carter's grandson and a longtime friend, while eulogies from former President Gerald Ford and Vice President Walter Mondale will be read by their sons. Following the national service, Carter's remains will return to Plains, Georgia for a private burial beside his wife. The ceremonies reflect Carter's significant impact on the nation and his enduring legacy of humanitarian work. The public is invited to pay respects as the motorcade passes through Plains after the funeral.
