The Pope's funeral ceremony, which is being led by Cardinal Kevin Joseph Farrell, is expected to end at 2:00 p.m. local time.
After this, many foreign leaders will leave Rome, while pilgrims and mourners will remain.
Today marks the beginning of a nine-day period of mourning called Novemdiales, with a mass held each day in memory of Francis.
After the mourning, the attention of the Catholic world will soon turn to the conclave, the ritual election of Francis' successor where qualified cardinals gather in Vatican City to vote in secret.
The cardinals have not yet confirmed a date, but the conclave usually takes place between 15 and 20 days after the death of a pope. This suggests a date after May 6 is possible.
