There was a very interesting aspect of Pope Francis's funeral. The usual Catholic procedure is for the homily after the Gospel to be a reflection on the ceremony's Scripture readings, with any eulogy reserved for after Communion. Instead, the celebrant, the Italian Cardinal Re, Dean of the College of Cardinals, briefly mentioned the Gospel reading but otherwise forewent the traditional homily and delivered what was clearly a eulogy. Of perhaps even greater interest is what he had to say. He was made Cardinal by JPII and is not considered a progressive, but the eulogy was clearly one of deep admiration, delivered with remarkable energy considering he is 91. A man of his experience and rank, standing there in front of the world, makes his choices with deliberation. While he is too old to participate in the conclave, he will be participating in the daily meetings the cardinals are having between now and when the conclave starts. His homily is being interpreted by some as his own endorsement of a choice to continue Francis's approach to the Papacy. Here's link to the official English translation.
