He has chosen the St Mary Major Basilica in Rome as his final resting place. This decision is deeply personal, stemming from his devotion to the icon of the Virgin Mary there. The pope will be interred in a simple, zinc-lined wooden coffin, differing from the multi-layered traditional papal caskets.

Cardinals under the age of 80 are eligible to vote, and a two-thirds majority is required for the election.
