Former President Jimmy Carter's body lays in state at the U.S. Capitol prior to his state funeral Thursday. The funeral will take place at the Washington National Cathedral.

Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, will be eulogized at a state funeral Thursday at the National Cathedral and later by private family services and interment in Plains, Georgia.

The ceremonies will conclude in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, where he will be buried beside his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter, who passed away in 2023. Together, the Carters had long planned their modest resting place in Plains, where they began their lives together on a peanut farm.
