CHICAGO (AP) — Funeral services for Cardinal Francis George will be held Thursday at Chicago's Holy Name Cathedral.

George, who retired as Chicago archbishop in the fall of 2014, died Friday after a long battle with cancer.

The Chicago archdiocese announced that the funeral arrangements will include a public visitation that begins Tuesday. Interspersed with visitation will be an invitation-only prayer vigil for priests and seminarians on Tuesday, an interfaith service on Wednesday morning and an invitation-only prayer vigil for women and men religious, deacons and their wives.

The funeral service at noon Thursday will require a ticket to attend.

George will be buried in his family's plot at All Saints Cemetery & Mausoleum in the Chicago suburb of Des Plaines.
