Jimmy Carter's official state funeral is set to be held on Thursday, Jan. 9 at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter will be honored Thursday with the pageantry of a funeral in the nation’s capital and second service in his tiny Georgia hometown that launched a Depression-era farm boy to the world stage.

The US will honor the late former President Jimmy Carter, who died at age 100 on December 29. President Joe Biden declared January 9 as a day of mourning in an executive order – the same day as his official state funeral at the Washington National Cathedral.
