There, former and current members of the Secret Service detail that protected Carter will escort his body to a hearse, which will then leave for Plains, the former president\u2019s hometown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The motorcade is expected to pass through Plains, pausing for a moment at his childhood farm. During that stop, the National Park Service will toll the farm bell 39 times, marking Carter\u2019s service as the 39th president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Once the motorcade leaves Plains, it will head for Atlanta, where it is scheduled to arrive at 3 p.m. Once there, the motorcade will pause for a moment of silence at the Georgia State Capitol, where Carter once served as governor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A private service will then be held at the Carter Center in Atlanta, where the former president established his presidential library and headquarters for an organization dedicated to championing democracy, fighting diseases and other global causes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Beginning at 7 p.m., the public will be able to pay their respects at the Carter Center through early Tuesday.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-2507a559\">Tuesday, Jan. 7<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Public visitation will end at 6 a.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At 9:30 a.m., there will be a ceremony marking Carter\u2019s final departure from the Carter Center. His family will then travel with his body to Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They will first fly to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, arriving at 12:45 p.m. A motorcade will then take them to the U.S. Navy Memorial, in recognition of Carter\u2019s military service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At 2 p.m., Carter\u2019s body will be transferred to a horse-drawn military wagon, as part of a procession to the U.S. Capitol in Washington. At the Capitol, Carter will lie in state, with a 3 p.m. service scheduled for lawmakers to pay their respects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The public will be able to visit until midnight, and then again on Wednesday through early Thursday.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-2969e6d0\">Thursday, Jan. 9<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Carter will leave the Capitol at 9 a.m., with a ceremony. The procession will head to Washington National Cathedral, where a national funeral service will take place at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The funeral is expected to end by 11:15 a.m., at which point the family will accompany the coffin back to Joint Base Andrews to fly to Georgia. Once back in Georgia, a motorcade will drive to Plains.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Once the motorcade arrives at Maranatha Baptist Church, where Carter taught Sunday school for many years, a private funeral service will take place at 3:45 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An hour later, the motorcade is expected to travel to the Carter home, where his wife, Rosalynn, is buried. There, the Navy will conduct a ceremonial flyover, another tribute to Carter\u2019s service both as a lieutenant and commander in chief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Carter will finally be buried alongside his wife. A private interment ceremony, scheduled for 5:20 p.m., will conclude the services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the next six days, various dignitaries, supporters and ordinary citizens will celebrate Jimmy Carter at several funeral events across the country that honor his life and career in public&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":393,"featured_media":2824,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3812,3811,4,3810,3813,3815,3814],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
