President Joe Biden appointed Jan. 9, as a day of mourning for Jimmy Carter for people to 'pay homage to the memory' of the former president.

Here is Thursday’s schedule for the final day of rites honoring Jimmy Carter , the 39th president, who died Dec. 29. All times are Eastern: 9 a.m. — Carter’s casket departs the U.S. Capitol. The funeral motorcade travels to Washington National Cathedral.

Jimmy Carter and Demetrius Young both died Dec. 29. The two men shared a life of service, a love of Georgia, and a care for the needs of everyday people.

The last national day of mourning was in December 2018 to honor former President George H. W. Bush. To honor Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, all federal offices will be closed on Jan. 9 in observance of the day of mourning.
