The official state funeral for former President Jimmy Carter will be held Jan. 9 at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., the White House confirmed Monday.
The Carter Center released a statement saying the family has accepted an invitation from Congress for Carter, who died Sunday at 100, to lie in state at the Capitol rotunda. Funeral services will begin on Jan. 4 and end on Jan. 9, moving from Carter’s home state of Georgia to Washington, D.C.
President Joe Biden declared Jan. 9 a national day of mourning, ordered U.S. flags to fly at half-staff for 30 days and issued an executive order closing all executive departments and agencies of the federal government that day.
