The cardinals stand in rows at the Pope's funeral. They are dressed in red capes and a hat on their heads.
According to foreign media, in 15 to 20 days after the funeral of Pope Francis, the College of Cardinals will summon cardinals to Rome to elect the next Pope.
They will gather in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel. Once the cardinals have entered, they cannot communicate with the outside world until a new Pope is elected.
Cardinals must be under 80 to vote, meaning only 135 of the 252 cardinals will be eligible to vote.
A new Pope requires a two-thirds majority, but that could take time, writes A2 CNN.
One round of voting takes place on the first afternoon of the conclave (meeting) and then voting will take place up to four times each day thereafter.
If the conclave (meeting) ends on the third day without reaching a decision, the cardinals may pause for a day of prayer before resuming voting.
If no decision is made after 33 rounds, there will be a runoff between the two most voted candidates, but one of them will need to receive two-thirds of the votes to be elected Pope. (A2 Televizion)
