The 266th pope made significant changes to papal funeral rites, which will mean less pomp and circumstance.
Pope Francis has made significant changes to the traditional funeral plans for popes, aiming for a simpler and more modest ceremony that reflects his emphasis on humility and service. The new plans include a smaller funeral Mass, fewer official delegations, and a more subdued procession through St. Peter's Basilica. The Pope has also chosen to be buried in the crypt of St. Mary Major Basilica, rather than in St. Peter's Basilica, breaking with centuries of tradition. These changes are part of Pope Francis's broader efforts to reform the Vatican and focus on the Church's mission to serve the poor and marginalized.
