9:38 a.m.Carter’s casket arrived at the National Cathedral.

9 a.m.Carter’s casket departed the U.S. Capitol, where it had been lying in state since Tuesday, for the National Cathedral.

President Joe Biden designated Thursday a national day of mourning in recognition of Carter’s funeral. Flags will remain at half-staff until later this month, and most federal agencies and the New York Stock Exchange are closed.

After an arrival ceremony at the National Cathedral at 9:30 a.m. EST, the funeral is expected to start at 10 a.m. and run for just over an hour, with remarks by Biden and Carter’s grandson Jason Carter, among others. Following the service, his body will be flown to Georgia by about 2 p.m. and driven to his hometown of Plains, for a private funeral service at around 3:45 p.m., and a procession through downtown Plains, according to organizers. He’ll be buried next to his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter, who died in November 2023.
