Memorial services for Jimmy Carter unfold over several days, beginning this past Saturday in southwest Georgia when a motorcade headed north to Atlanta.

They will culminate on Thursday, when a state funeral will be held at Washington National Cathedral before Carter is interred later the same day in his hometown Plains.

The former president died Dec. 29 at age 100. He will be buried next to Rosalynn Carter, his wife of 77 years, who died in November 2023.
