Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, passed away at the age of 100 on December 29, 2024. Known for his leadership and humanitarian work, Carter’s life will be celebrated with a series of ceremonies and tributes.

National Day of Mourning and State Funeral

To honor Carter’s contributions to the nation, a state funeral will be held in Washington, D.C., on January 9, 2025. This day has been declared a national day of mourning. The funeral is expected to bring together U.S. leaders, including President Joe Biden, who will deliver a eulogy, as well as world leaders and former presidents.

Carter’s journey to his final resting place will begin in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. A motorcade will pass by landmarks significant to his life, including his boyhood home and family farm. His body will then be transported to Atlanta, where a moment of silence will be observed at Georgia's state capitol.

Carter will lie in repose at the Carter Presidential Center in Atlanta before being taken to Washington, D.C., to lie in state at the U.S. Capitol. Following the state funeral, his casket will return to Georgia for a service at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, where he taught Sunday school for decades. The ceremonies will conclude with a private funeral and burial alongside his wife, Rosalynn Carter, who passed away earlier in the year.

Jimmy Carter’s presidency, which lasted from 1977 to 1981, was marked by his focus on human rights and peace. After leaving office, he dedicated his life to humanitarian work, including building homes with Habitat for Humanity and promoting global health initiatives. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.

Carter’s passing has drawn tributes from across the globe. Leaders and citizens alike have remembered him for his kindness, humility, and commitment to serving others. His death also comes at a pivotal time in U.S. history, as President Joe Biden prepares to leave office and former President Donald Trump prepares to assume power again.

Jimmy Carter will be remembered not only as a president but also as a man of integrity, faith, and service who left a lasting impact on the world.
