The official state funeral of former President Jimmy Carter will be held on January 9 in Washington D.C., the same day as a national day of mourning announced by President Joe Biden on Sunday.

Biden is expected to deliver a eulogy for Carter, and on Monday, he ordered federal offices to close on January 9 “as a mark of respect” for the former President. The Supreme Court also announced it would be closed on January 9 in recognition of the day of mourning.

Carter passed away on Sunday (local time) at the age of 100.

Services to honor Carter will begin on January 4, including a brief pause at his boyhood home and family farm in Plains, Georgia, where he grew up, followed by a stop at the Georgia State Capitol for a moment of silence.

Carter will lie in repose at the Carter Presidential Center in Atlanta until January 7 for mourners to pay their respects. His remains will then be transported to Washington D.C., where he will be carried to the US Navy Memorial and then to the US Capitol in a funeral procession.

Upon arrival at the Capitol on January 7, members of Congress will pay their respects during an afternoon service. He will lie in state until January 9, when his state funeral will be held at the National Cathedral at 10 a.m.

In a letter on Monday, Congressional leaders from both parties notified Carter’s son, James Carter III, and the Carter Center of their intent for Carter’s remains to lie in state at the Capitol from January 7-9.

“In recognition of President Carter’s long and distinguished service to the nation, it is our intention to ask the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate to permit his remains to lie in state in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol,” the lawmakers said in a joint statement.

In a statement on Truth Social, former US President Donald Trump also paid tribute to Carter, writing that “the challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans.” Trump added, “For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude.”

Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his global human rights work, including his efforts to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts. Through the Carter Center, which he established in 1982 with his wife, Carter spent decades working in developing nations on human rights and building democratic institutions.

The Joint Task Force-National Capital Region in the Department of Defense will conduct the funeral ceremonies.

Biden and First Lady Jill Biden expressed grief over Carter’s passing, calling him an extraordinary leader, statesman, and humanitarian. “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us,” the Bidens said in a statement.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also expressed his sorrow over Carter’s death, calling him a “statesman of great vision.” PM Modi said that Carter’s contributions to strengthening ties between India and the US leave a lasting legacy. “Deeply saddened by the passing of former US President Jimmy Carter. A statesman of great vision, he worked tirelessly for global peace and harmony. His contributions to fostering strong India-US ties leave a lasting legacy,” PM Modi wrote on X.

In 1978, Jimmy Carter visited India as US President, where he met then-President Neelam Sanjiva Reddy and then-Prime Minister Morarji Desai. During his visit, he also addressed the Indian Parliament.

Carter passed away at his home in Plains, Georgia, on Sunday at the age of 100. His son, James E. Carter III, confirmed his death but did not provide an immediate cause. According to the Carter Center, after a series of hospital stays, Carter decided to stop further medical treatment and spent his remaining time at home under hospice care.
