Pope Francis plans a simplified funeral in 2024, deviating from tradition by not displaying his body for public viewing. He wishes to be buried with dignity, opting for an open coffin instead. The updated funeral rites, approved in April 2024, aim to enhance public participation while maintaining Church traditions. The funeral will occur three days post-death, with the burial at Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, rather than St Peter's Basilica. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
