Former President Jimmy Carter’s strong faith will shine through today’s events, as his niece revealed that he actively participated in planning his own funeral. According to his niece, Carter personally selected the hymns and verses of scripture to ensure that his faith would be evident to all attendees. This deliberate act of planning reflects Carter's desire to share his faith with others, even beyond his physical presence.

Presidents often engage in funeral planning early in their term.
