From an article:
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the differences:
Burial:
Single coffin:
Pope Francis will be buried in a simple wooden coffin lined with zinc, instead of the traditional three coffins of cypress, lead, and oak.
Burial location:
He will be buried in the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome, not in the Vatican grottoes.
No catafalque:
His body will not be displayed on a raised platform, as is traditional, but will instead be placed in an open coffin.
No tiara:
The traditional papal tiara will not be displayed.
Funeral Rites:
Simplified liturgy:
The funeral Mass will emphasize scripture and simplicity, with fewer traditional royal flourishes.
Updated prayers and Scripture readings:
The prayers and Scripture readings will be updated to reflect revised translations.
Emphasis on "pastor and disciple":
The funeral will emphasize Pope Francis's role as a shepherd and disciple of Christ, rather than a powerful figure.
Other Changes:
No closing ceremony: There will be no closing ceremony for the coffin, as it is placed in the tomb.
No double vigil: There will only be one vigil, with the pope already in the coffin.
Changes to the order of the rites: Some steps in the traditional funeral rites have been altered, such as the timing of the public viewing and the declaration of death.
