Funeral preparations guided by Cardinals for the Pope

Here Comes the Grand Send-Off for ol' Popey

Pope Francis is about to kick the bucket, and it's gonna be one hell of a bash in Rome's St. Peter's Square 🏢🔥🤔

After the old fart's demise, the cardinal gangbang is assembling on Tuesday to sort out the nitty-gritty of his funeral shindig.

In the Vatican Temple Courtyard

The big question here is when exactly they're gonna bury our fallen leader of the Catholic Church—uh, I mean the Pope. Typically, it goes down four to six days post-demise, but we're gonna have to wait and see. Right now, he's chillin' in his pad, the holy digs at Casa Santa Marta.

World Leaders Galore

On Wednesday, they're gonna move his sorry carcass over to St. Peter's Basilica so the plebians can pay their respects. Then, come the days after that, he'll be six feet under, with world leaders in attendance. The Pope's final resting place is said to be the Roman Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, let the festivities commence! 🎉🥳💔

As for the mourners, tens of thousands flocked to St. Peter's Square in Rome to mourn, led by Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, who led a rosary prayer and gave a heartfelt remembrance of our departed Pontiff.

Now listen up, because the gossip mill's churnin' out Saturday as the supposed day for the funeral ceremony in St. Peter's Square, according to insiders. The College of Cardinals is expected to make it official when they meet on Tuesday. And Cardinal Gambetti ain't just callin' for prayers here, he's also reminiscing about Francis' frequent plea, "Don't forget to pray for me," and asking us all to pray together for the late Pope.

To top it off, they plan to seal the Pope's apartments on Monday evening, not just the one in the second floor of the guest house Santa Marta, where he resided, but also the one in the third floor of the Apostolic Palace, despite the Pontiff rarely venturing up there.

Papa's Final Eulogy

Now, here's some final tidbits on how the Pope's final resting place will look like. He's gonna rest in a modest, simple tomb at the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, a place he adored and paid his respects to during his reign. He specifically asked for no grandiose memorials or fancy titles on his tomb, only the name "Franciscus" to be inscribed—talk about humility, right? 🙌😇

The funeral Mass took place on May 20, 2025, after which his coffin was transported from St. Peter’s Basilica to Santa Maria Maggiore for burial. That, folks, is the Pope's last wish fulfilled, with humility and simplicity trumping pomposity even in death. 💔💞✨

Politics and general news are abuzz as the Catholic Church prepares for Pope Francis' funeral, following his demise.

Amid the preparations, Cardinal Mauro Gambetti has urged prayers for the late Pope, echoing his frequent plea, "Don't forget to pray for me," as the College of Cardinals convenes on Tuesday to make the official funeral arrangements.
