A national Day of Mourning will take place on Jan. 9 the day of former President Jimmy Carter's official state funeral at Washington National Cathedral.

Flags will remain at half-mast and half-staff most of the month for Jimmy Carter's death. Jan. 9 will be a national day of mourning for his funeral.

The state funeral will cap more than a week of remembrances honoring Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, who died at 100 on Sunday.
