Jimmy Carter's state funeral was held at the National Cathedral on Thursday and the 39th president's final journey to Georgia has begun. President Biden gave a eulogy at the service, highlighting Carter's character and faith.

Jimmy Carter—the 39th president of the United States, who died on Dec. 29 at 100—was laid to rest at the Georgia home he shared with wife Rosalynn Carter.

Jimmy Carter told his grandson that he was "ready" to see his late wife in the weeks leading up to his death. The former POTUS passed away at 100 years old on Sunday, December 29, following his battle with cancer — just over one year after Rosalynn Carter died in November 2023.
