Francis died on April 26 at 88 years old.
Pope Francis, the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church, was buried Saturday, April 26 at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major after dying one week ago at 88 years old.
Francis, who took his name after Saint Francis of Assisi, was known for his outreach to the poor and those in poverty and that will be reflected in his minimalist burial at Saint Mary Major. He is the first pope to be buried outside the Vatican in over a century and the first to be buried at Santa Maria Maggiore in more than 300 years.

The coffin carrying Pope Francis was carried through the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica for a final time on Saturday morning as bells tolled for the pope throughout the Vatican.
The funeral, lasting over two hours, concluded with bells ringing for the pontiff as tens of thousands gathered to mourn.
Pope Francis' coffin will now be taken to Rome's Basilica of Saint Mary Major where he will be laid to rest.
It is one of the most poignant and iconic moments in papal funerals: the simple yet profound image of the breeze blowing the pages of the Book of the Gospels resting on top of the pope's coffin.
The book was opened to the reading, "In the Passion and death of the Lord."
Pope Francis' funeral Mass has ended, and cardinals have filed back into St. Peter's Basilica.
The crowd applauded as white-gloved pallbearers lifted the pope's coffin to bring it back inside the basilica. From there, it will be moved to the popemobile to make its way across Rome to Francis' burial place in St. Mary Major.
"They would help him around and help him with visitors and now they're helping him to his final resting place."
The Vatican is now reporting that the number of people present as Francis' funeral nears its end is more than 250,000.
The Vatican earlier released a brief statement reporting a crowd of 200,000.
