The public will be able to pay final respects to Coretta Scott King, the widow of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., at the Georgia Capitol Saturday.

On Monday her body will lie at Ebenezer Baptist Church, her husband's longtime pulpit.

The funeral will be Tuesday at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in suburban Lithonia, where the Kings' youngest child, Bernice, is a minister. The church seats 10,000 people.

The 78-year-old King died earlier this week at an alternative medicine clinic in Mexico where she had sought treatment for ovarian cancer.

Family spokesman Chris Garrett says the King family is "overwhelmed at the generous outpouring of support, prayers and condolences from all over the world."
