- The passing of former President Jimmy Carter on Sunday marks the beginning of a process that will include a period of national mourning. U.S. presidents have the maudlin task of planning their own funerals while in office. Carter is expected to be taken to Atlanta via motorcade from his home in Plains, Ga., where he will stop at the Georgia State Capitol before being taken to the Carter Center, where he will lie in repose for 36 hours.
Jimmy Carter, the longest living president in American history, has died at the age of 100.
