The start of the funeral arrangements of Pope Francis .. The body was buried outside the Vatican

A number of Cardinals are scheduled to meet in Rome today, Tuesday, to discuss the arrangements for the funeral of Pope Francis, who died on Easter at the age of 88.
Cardinals will decide the exact date for the burial of the late Catholic Church, which is usually done after the death of four to six days.
Although it is customary for the deceased Pope to be buried in St. Peter’s Cathedral, it is expected that the body of Pope Francis is buried outside the Vatican, in the Cathedral of Santa Maria Magory, one of his favorite places.
It is expected that heads of state and governments from all over the world will attend the funeral ceremony.
Francis’s body is still in the Santa Marta Church, his residence in the Vatican.
It is expected that the body will be transferred to St. Peter’s Cathedral on Wednesday, to give it the last look, according to the Vatican.
Pope Francis, who led the Catholic Church for 12 years, died on Easter at 0735 am (0535 GMT) after suffering a stroke, according to the Vatican.
