President Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine are among the world leaders who plan to attend the funeral. The conclave to choose his successor will most likely start at least a week later.

Leaders and prominent figures from across the world will be in attendance when Pope Francis is buried in a service on April 26 in Vatican City.

The pontiff's funeral is scheduled for Saturday, April 26, according to the Vatican. Francis' death on Monday came after a series of worsening health problems, including a diagnosis of double pneumonia that put him in the hospital for more than a month earlier this year.
