Jimmy Carter, the 39th US president, will be honoured with a funeral at Washington National Cathedral before a second service and burial in his Georgia hometown. President Joe Biden, who endorsed Carter's 1976 presidential campaign, will give the eulogy. All of Carter's living successors are expected to attend the funeral. Tributes to Carter focus on his humanitarian work after leaving the White House. The funeral will conclude six days of national rites that began in Plains, Georgia, where Carter was born and died. After the funeral in Washington, Carter's remains will be returned to Georgia for an afternoon funeral and burial on family land.
