Edwin W. Edwards, former four-term Louisiana governor, will lie in state for public viewing at the Louisiana Capitol this Saturday.

The viewing will happen in Baton Rouge between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Sunday, Edwards' remains will be taken to the Old State Capitol to lie in repose for a private ceremony with family and friends.

Edwards died Monday morning, days after beginning hospice care. The former governor would have turned 94 years old in about three weeks, August 7.
