On Friday, May 1, 2026, a memorial ceremony celebrating the life of Congressman David Scott will start at 11 AM at the Georgia State Capitol. Upon completion of the program, Congressman Scott will lie in repose for public viewing in the Rotunda of the Georgia State Capitol until 5 PM.

The family of Congressman Scott thanks Governor Kemp for extending this honor, and for the incredible outpouring of grief, love, and support from the countless friends, constituents, and elected officials who knew or were helped by the Congressman over his lifetime.

Please note that there is only one entrance into the Georgia State Capitol and it requires security screening, so arrive early to attend the memorial ceremony. The Georgia Building Authority will have the South Deck open and parking will be free. The nearest MARTA stop to the Capitol is Georgia State.
