During Thursday's National Day of Mourning, former President Jimmy Carter will be remembered at a state funeral in Washington.

The state funeral process for President Jimmy Carter concludes today with services in the nation's capital and in southwest Georgia.

Thursday's service will cap off six days of remembrance for Carter, who died on Dec. 29 at the age of 100. After the funeral, Carter will return to Georgia to be buried in his hometown of Plains, next to his beloved wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter.

President Jimmy Carter will be eulogized by President Joe Biden in Washington D.C. on Thursday, in a service that is expected to see all five living presidents attend, including President-elect Trump, and former presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and George W. Bush.

President Biden will deliver a eulogy, and tributes written by Gerald Ford and Walter Mondale will be read by their sons.
