How has Pope Francis changed traditions?

 Traditionally, the pope's remains would have been enclosed the day before the funeral in three nested coffins, made of cypress, lead, and oak.

Last year, however, Pope Francis requested that he be buried in a simpler wooden coffin with a zinc interior.

This is the coffin that will be seen in the funeral service and has been on display this week in St Peter's Basilica.

Pope Francis will also be breaking with a 100-year-old tradition when he his buried. He asked to be entombed in the Santa Maria Maggiore instead of the crypt at St Peter’s Basilica.
