Pope Francis funeral: NOT Vatican, here's where Pope Francis will be buried, unlike his predecessors
Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff, passed away at 88 after battling health issues. His funeral is scheduled for April 26, 2025, in St. Peter’s Square, led by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re. Departing from tradition, Pope Francis will be buried in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, reflecting his wish for simplicity and personal connection to the basilica.
