The official six-day state funeral for Carter begins on Saturday as his remains travel by motorcade through his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

Carter’s state funeral will be held Jan. 9 at 10 a.m. inside Washington National Cathedral after a procession from Georgia and a ceremony in which his body will lie in state in the Capitol, according to a news release from the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region.

To honor Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient who resided in Provincetown in the 1950s, all federal offices will be closed on Jan. 9 in observance of the day of mourning. While various other organizations may choose to also close in honor of Carter, unlike on a federal holiday, businesses are not required to close.
