Pope Francis's Funeral: Simple Ceremony, Historic Burial | JQJO

Pope Francis's funeral will be held on Saturday at 10 a.m. local time in St. Peter's Square, Vatican City. The ceremony will be livestreamed on Vatican News' YouTube and major broadcasters. Unlike previous papal funerals, this will be simpler, per Francis's wishes, and his burial will occur at the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome, not the Vatican. World leaders, including President Trump, are expected to attend. Following the funeral, a period of mourning will begin, leading to the election of a new pope.
