The funeral for the late former President Jimmy Carter is scheduled to take place on Thursday morning in Washington D.C. Carter’s remains will be transported to the Washington National Cathedral after a period of lying in state at the Capitol throughout this week. Subsequent to the service, his remains will be conveyed to Carter’s hometown of Plains, Georgia for a private funeral service and interment on Thursday night. President Joe Biden has proclaimed Thursday as a national day of mourning following Carter’s passing on December 29 at the age of 100 years old. This declaration necessitates the closure of all federal government offices.
All living former presidents are expected to convene for the funeral. President-elect Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence are both anticipated to be in attendance, marking the first instance in four years where the pair will be in the same location. The national funeral service for the late president is slated to commence at 10 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday.
