Pope Francis' funeral will be held on Saturday, April 26 in St Peter's Square in Vatican City at 10 am local time (9 am UK time). The outdoor service will be led by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, the dean of the college of cardinals.

Burial Location:
Unlike his predecessors, Pope Francis has decided against being buried in the Vatican. Instead, he will be buried in the Santa Maria Maggiore basilica in Rome’s Esquilino neighborhood, where he went to pray before and after his foreign trips. Francis requested that he be buried “in the ground, without particular decoration” but with the inscription of his papal name in Latin: Franciscus.
