COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — On Thursday, various services nationwide, including U.S. Postal Service mail delivery, will be paused in honor of the National Day of Mourning established for former President Jimmy Carter.

The USPS notes on its website that all post offices will be closed and regular mail will not be delivered. There will, however, be “limited package delivery service” on Jan. 9. Customers can expect services to return to normal starting Friday.

Thursday’s National Day of Mourning is meant to give people space to pay their respects to Carter, the longest-living American president. Per federal law, President Joe Biden previously declared the day a National Day of Mourning.
