After a week of global mourning for Pope Francis, who died on Monday at age 88, the pope's funeral will be celebrated on Saturday . Francis' funeral will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. local time at St.

Most of the funeral will be celebrated in Latin, and there will be incense and hymns and Gregorian chants. Attended by dozens of heads of state, monarchs and other dignitaries, it will be, in any case, a spectacle. And at the center of it all will be Francis’ simple coffin, on the esplanade of St. Peter’s Basilica.
