After Pope Francis’ death, Cardinal Farrell will confirm it, seal the pope’s apartment, and prepare for the funeral. Mourning rites will last nine days, with the funeral at St. Peter’s Square. A conclave to elect the new pope will begin 15-20 days later.
After the death of Pope Francis, several key steps will take place in the Vatican. Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the camerlengo, will confirm the pope’s death, seal his private apartment, and prepare for the funeral. The pope's "Fisherman’s Ring" and lead seal will be broken to prevent their misuse, and no autopsy will be conducted.
Mourning rites will continue for nine days, with the funeral planned for St. Peter's Square, typically within four to six days. Pope Francis had requested to be buried at St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome, rather than in St. Peter’s crypt, and had asked for a simple wooden casket.
During the interregnum, the College of Cardinals will manage Church matters, but their powers are limited. Between 15 and 20 days after the death, a conclave will convene in the Sistine Chapel to elect a new pope. Only cardinals under 80 can vote, with a two-thirds majority needed. The election process can take several rounds of voting.
The public will be notified of the new pope through white smoke from the Sistine Chapel’s chimney, and an official will announce "Habemus Papam" from St. Peter's Basilica. The new pope will then make his first appearance and deliver a blessing to the crowd.
