Former President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral at Washington National Cathedral will be held on Jan. 9, featuring a eulogy by President Biden and culminating more than a week of ceremonies and tributes, organizers said on Monday.

Mr. Biden ordered the federal government to close on Jan. 9 and has declared it a national day of mourning. The New York Stock Exchange will also close on that day out of respect for the 39th president.

Because of the New Year’s holiday, the eight-day plan that organizers had long envisioned for Mr. Carter’s memorial services will not begin until later this week. The former president will be taken by motorcade on Saturday through his hometown Plains, Ga., to his boyhood home for a brief pause in front of his family’s farm. A historic farm bell will ring 39 times.

The former president will then be taken to Atlanta to the Georgia State Capitol for a moment of silence by Gov. Brian Kemp and other officials, and then transported to the Carter Center, the home of his post-presidential humanitarian work. He will lie in repose at the center for mourners to visit Saturday night, Sunday and Monday, according to a detailed schedule released by the U.S. military task force that organizes presidential funerals.

Mr. Carter, who died at his home in Plains, Ga., at 100 on Sunday, will be flown by presidential plane on Tuesday, Jan. 7, to Washington, where he will be taken to the U.S. Navy Memorial in honor of his service as a submariner. He will then be taken by horse drawn caisson up to the Capitol, where he will lie in state through Jan. 8, much as several presidents going back to Abraham Lincoln have. Thousands of people are expected to file through the Rotunda to pay their respects, including lawmakers, diplomats and everyday Americans.

The service at the cathedral, which traditionally hosts state funerals for presidents as well as other major American figures, will be the highlight of the remembrances. Other former presidents are expected to attend, but it was not clear whether President-elect Donald J. Trump, who has regularly denigrated Mr. Carter, would be invited or attend.

“What the hell,” Mr. Trump wrote in all capital letters, “do you have to lose?”
