From Newsweek:
As tradition dictates, the camerlengo—alongside three appointed assistants—will determine the timing for when the late pontiff’s body will be brought into St. Peter’s Basilica for public viewing. In a symbolic gesture marking the end of his papacy, the Pope’s Fisherman’s Ring and lead seal will be ceremonially destroyed to prevent any unauthorized use. In accordance with Vatican protocol, no autopsy will be conducted.
The Catholic Church now enters a period of nine days of mourning, during which cardinals will set the date for the funeral and burial—typically held four to six days after death in St. Peter’s Square. However, Pope Francis, known for his focus on humility and simplicity, made clear his final wishes diverge from the norm. Unlike many of his predecessors who were interred in the crypt beneath St. Peter’s Basilica, Francis requested to be laid to rest at Rome’s Basilica of St. Mary Major. His instructions also call for a simple wooden casket, in keeping with his lifelong emphasis on modesty.
