Why the Pope Changed His Funeral Before Death — 3 Rules That Brought Tears

Pope Francis changed the rules — for his own funeral.

💔 No luxury. No gold. Just a simple goodbye.

Traditionally, Popes are laid to rest in three coffins (pine, lead, and oak) — a symbol of power and sanctity.
But Francis chose just one simple wooden coffin — to be remembered not as a ruler, but as a shepherd to the people.

📍 His body will not be displayed on a pedestal.
📍 He won’t be buried in the majestic tombs of Saint Peter’s Basilica.
📍 He refused the Apostolic Palace — choosing a modest apartment instead.

He asked to be buried at the Basilica of Our Lady, far from splendor — close to humility.

These 3 decisions broke centuries of tradition — and brought tears to millions.

This is the story of a Pope who lived… and will die… with humility, simplicity, and love.
