Who is expected to speak at President Jimmy Carter’s funeral?
Former presidents and religious groups are expected to be in attendance and pay their respects to the former president.
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at the age of 100 on December 29, 2024, will be honored with a state funeral in the coming days.
While the full details of the funeral arrangements have not yet been announced, several key figures are expected to deliver eulogies and remarks during the service.
Expected Speakers
President Joe Biden is likely to be the most prominent speaker at Carter’s funeral. In March 2023, Biden revealed that Carter had asked him to deliver his eulogy. As the current president and a long-time friend of Carter, Biden’s participation in the service is almost certain.
Carter’s family, including his children and grandchildren, may also speak at the funeral, sharing personal memories and reflections on his life and legacy.
Given Carter’s deep faith and involvement with the Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia, it is likely that religious leaders from his community will participate in the service.
