Former President Jimmy Carter, the nation's 39th chief executive, returns to Washington, D.C., for the last time on Jan. 7, 2025. During a special ceremony at the U.S. Navy Memorial, Carter's casket was transferred from hearse to caisson.
Immediately following the transfer, a funeral procession unfolded along Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenues, retracing the route that Carter walked after taking his inaugural oath in 1977. Representatives from The Old Guard stood at attention while the horse-drawn caisson progressed at a measured pace.
