Former President Jimmy Carter is being honored with the pageantry of a funeral in the nation's capital before a second service in his Georgia hometown.

President Joe Biden, the first sitting senator to endorse Carter’s one and only presidential campaign in 1976, eulogized him at Wednesday’s state funeral in Washington. Carter had been receiving hospice care at his home in Plains, Georgia, since 2023 for an undisclosed illness.

Jimmy Carter, a U.S. president who served only one term but was widely admired for his humanitarian work after leaving the White House, was remembered during his state funeral on Thursday as a man who put honesty and kindness above partisan politics.

Jimmy Carter's state funeral was held at the National Cathedral on Thursday and the 39th president's final journey to Georgia has begun. President Biden gave a eulogy at the service, highlighting Carter's character and faith.

Jimmy Carter—the 39th president of the United States, who died on Dec. 29 at 100—was laid to rest at the Georgia home he shared with wife Rosalynn Carter.

As the 39th president is eulogized at Washington National Cathedral, Biden tells mourners his long-ago predecessor “taught me ... the strength of character.”
