The November 2 Pontifical Requiem Mass is the older, traditional, Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite that has been celebrated for centuries. 

Here are some interesting facts:

~ Only a Bishop, Archbishop, Cardinal or Pope can celebrate a Pontifical Requiem Mass.

~ Cardinal Burke will process in the sanctuary wearing a surplice and his religious clothing as a Cardinal, not yet fully vested for Holy Mass. A Cardinal's red skull cap will be worn and not a bishop's mitre.

~ Vesting will take place during the Holy Mass. Black vestments will be worn.

~ His Eminence’s hands will be ceremonially washed by four clerics. Gloves will cover his hands. 

~ When Cardinal Burke will be sitting and preaching, he will be on a chair called a “faldstool” which will be placed in the middle of the sanctuary. 

~ A Master of Ceremonies, clerics, deacons, subdeacons and altar boys will be present. 

~ An orchestra will accompany the Mass using Requiem compositions by Gabriel Faure.

~ A catafalque will be placed in the sanctuary, not far from the altar. It is a platform which can include an empty coffin or something that imitates the shape of a coffin, usually draped with a black funeral pall.  The catafalque is the symbol of the deceased whose body is not present. It will be flanked with six floor candelabras; three on each side. Cardinal Burke will say or sing the absolutions over the catafalque as His Eminence would over the body of the deceased.
