Mourners from as far away as Maine and California waited in the freezing cold for the chance to say goodbye to former President Carter.

The ceremonies will conclude in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, where he will be buried beside his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter, who passed away in 2023. Together, the Carters had long planned their modest resting place in Plains, where they began their lives together on a peanut farm.
