Former President Jimmy Carter, who died at the age of 100, will have his body moved to lie in repose at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library in Atlanta before his funeral.
There are no planned events during the first three days of 2025. Carter's body will first be moved to lie in repose at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library in Atlanta. The U.S. government also declared Thursday a National Day of Mourning. Carter was the longest-lived former president when he died Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, at the age of 100.
The former president will travel from his hometown to Atlanta by motorcade, and first lie in repose in the Carter Center, his post-presidency foundation. He then will be flown to Washington, D.C. where he will be greeted with a ceremony in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda and lie in state at the Capitol. He is to be buried in Plains next to former first lady Rosalynn Carter. Carter, a peanut farmer and former governor of Georgia, became the country's 39th president in 1977. He ran on the promise of restoring trust in government after the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War. Carter served only one term, defeated by Ronald Reagan in the midst of high inflation and the Iran hostage crisis
