 After clarifying that the pope is indeed dead by calling out his birth name and hitting his head with a hammer thrice, the Ring of the Fisherman is removed and broken into two and so are his seals.

 His body is then kept in state for some days till interred in the crypt of a church. A nine day mourning period is announced after.
