The service represents the pinnacle of America's honors to its 39th president, who sought to heal the nation after the traumas of the Watergate scandal and Vietnam.
President Biden will deliver a eulogy, as will Jason Carter, the former president's grandson, and Stuart E. Eizenstat, a longtime friend and White House domestic adviser.
Among the musical offerings, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will sing John Lennon's 'Imagine,' reflecting the themes of peace and unity Jimmy Carter championed.
The gathering of all five living presidents underscores a moment of unity and acknowledgment of Mr. Carter's legacy in American politics.
