Pope Francis has been laid to rest at the Santa Maria Maggiore basilica. The late pontiff’s entombment was a private event which allowed those close to him to pay their last respects. This was after a funeral Mass at the Vatican.

Pope Francis's funeral begins at 10 a.m. local time (4 a.m. Eastern, 1 a.m. Pacific) at the Vatican, outside St. Peter's Basilica. The ceremony is presided over by the dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re.
