A schedule for Jimmy Carter’s funeral and memorial services has yet to be released.
Per The Carter Center, “The final arrangements for President Carter’s state funeral, including all public events and motorcade routes, are still pending.” The schedule will be released by the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region.
The White House also issued a statement following Carter’s death. In it, President Joe Biden said that he would be “ordering an official state funeral to be held in Washington D.C. for James Earl Carter, Jr., 39th President of the United States, 76th Governor of Georgia, Lieutenant of the United States Navy, graduate of the United States Naval Academy, and favorite son of Plains, Georgia, who gave his full life in service to God and country.”
What is a state funeral?
A state funeral will usually last from seven to 10 days and consists of three stages. The first stage will include ceremonies within the state in which Carter was in residence. The second stage includes ceremonies within Washington, D.C. and the third stage will include ceremonies in the state in which the individual has chosen to be interred.
In a 2006 C-SPAN2 interview, Carter said, “Plains is special to us. I could be buried in Arlington Cemetery or wherever I want, but my wife was born here and I was born here. Plains is where our hearts have always been.”
After their years in the White House, the Carters went back to the Georgia home they built in 1961.
