The Type of Coffin only Popes Can be Buried in When They Die (Only Catholics)

When a pope dies, he isn’t buried in one coffin—but three. Cypress, lead, and oak seal together in a sacred, ancient rite beneath St. Peter’s Basilica, each layer whispering tales of humility, preservation, and power. Why this mysterious trinity? What are these coffins worth—both in dollars and in meaning? And what chaos could unfold if the Vatican breaks this tradition? Step into the crypt as we uncover the truth behind the papal burial, from the $200 cypress box to the 400-pound lead shield, down to the oak guardian of a legacy. This isn’t just a funeral—it’s a 1,000-year creed. Watch now to see why forsaking it could fracture the soul of the Church.
