The day of mourning will be held on the same day as Mr. Carter’s funeral at Washington National Cathedral. President Biden will deliver a eulogy at the funeral, and a eulogy written by Gerald R. Ford, who died in 2006, will be read by his son Steven Ford.

A National Day of Mourning will take place on Jan. 9 the day of former President Jimmy Carter's official state funeral at Washington National Cathedral.

Lines of mourners in Atlanta are paying their respects to former President Jimmy Carter, who is lying in repose at the Carter Center before his casket is flown to Washington to lie in state at the U.S.

Washingtonians will have their first opportunity to pay respects to Carter on Tuesday afternoon, as a funeral procession will begin at the United States Naval Memorial on Pennsylvania Avenue and travel to the US Capitol. Carter will lie in state from Tuesday evening to Thursday morning with an honor guard in the Capitol Rotunda.
