Funeral proceedings for President Jimmy Carter culminate Thursday

Six days of funeral observances for former President Jimmy Carter began Saturday in Georgia, where he died on Dec. 29 at the age of 100. Jimmy Carter Jr. lived more than 80 of his 100 years in and around Plains, Georgia, which still has fewer than 700 people. Carter’s remains will travel next to Washington, where he will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda until his funeral at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Washington National Cathedral. All the living presidents have been invited, and Joe Biden will deliver a eulogy. The Carter family then will return to Plains where they’ll have a hometown funeral and private burial.
