The procession began at the Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus, Georgia, where former and current Secret Service agents assigned to Carter’s Protective Division carried his remains to a hearse. Following a moment of silence at the State Capitol, the former president was honored at the Carter Presidential Center in a private memorial service.
