The passing of former President Jimmy Carter will mark a significant occasion in American history as he will receive a state funeral, a rare event reserved for distinguished leaders. The Carter Center has announced that public commemorations honoring Carter's legacy will take place in Atlanta and Washington, DC, followed by a private interment in Plains, Georgia.
Details regarding the final arrangements for Carter's state funeral are still pending, with the schedule expected to be released by the Joint Task Force - National Capital Region. This task force is responsible for overseeing the various stages of a state funeral, which typically spans 7 to 10 days and includes ceremonies in the former president's home state, Washington, DC, and the state of interment.
