The casket of former President Jimmy Carter was moved Thursday morning from the Capitol to the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., where his state funeral will take place. 

The casket of the 100-year-old former president will arrive by motorcade. The service will be followed by a second service – at Maranatha Baptist Church, where the former president taught Sunday school – and a burial at the 39th president's hometown of Plains, Georgia, according to the Associated Press.

President Biden will deliver the eulogy on Thursday.
