How the funeral of Jimmy Carter and other American presidents are planned

Ever since the nation's founding, Americans have bid farewell to former presidents with an intricate series of events including longstanding traditions and personal touches.
The article from PBS NewsHour discusses the meticulous planning involved in the funerals of American presidents, focusing on the example of former President Jimmy Carter. It explains that while Carter has chosen a simple funeral in line with his modest lifestyle, the logistics for presidential funerals are complex and involve multiple government agencies. The Department of Defense, through the Military District of Washington, takes the lead in organizing these state funerals, which include ceremonial elements like lying in state at the Capitol, a procession, and a national day of mourning. The planning for such events begins well in advance, with detailed protocols established to ensure everything from security to ceremonial honors is executed flawlessly. The article also touches on historical precedents, noting how each president's funeral reflects their personal wishes and public stature, with adjustments made for contemporary security concerns and public health considerations, as seen in modifications during recent times.
