Jimmy Carter will be honored with a National Day of Mourning on Jan. 9, President Biden says, and will receive a state funeral before being laid to rest in his hometown of Plains, Ga. — buried next to his wife, Rosalynn, beside a willow tree.
Carter entered hospice care in February 2023. He and Rosalynn celebrated their 77th wedding anniversary in 2023, a few months before she died at the age of 96.
Carter's wishes were to be buried next to Rosalynn in his hometown of Plains.
