The state funeral comes after mourners braved bitter cold to pay their respects to the nation's 39th president, who lay in state in inside the Capitol.
The service represents the pinnacle of America's honors to Mr. Carter, who sought to heal the nation after the traumas of the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War.
President Biden will give the closing eulogy for Mr. Carter, culminating a week of tributes in Atlanta and Washington.
In addition to the eulogy from Mr. Ford read by his son, there will be a eulogy written by former Vice President Walter F. Mondale before his own death.
