Key Points

Congress is honoring the life of Carter by allowing his body to lie in state at the U.S. Capitol. This is a rare honor given to very important national leaders to recognize their service to the country.
People will be able to pay their respects in the Capitol Rotunda from January 7 until January 9, 2025. The Architect of the Capitol is in charge of making all the necessary arrangements for the event.
A special platform used for historic funerals will be moved into the Rotunda to hold the casket. This platform is usually kept in the Capitol Visitor Center and is only used for major memorial services.
