Lord have mercy.

May his memory be eternal.

Thanks for posting this information, Jean-Serge.

Mod Note: I am moving this into Traditional Orthodoxy as the SiR is not a part of World Orthodoxy.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Question: Shouldn't a hierarch's face be covered? St. John Maximovitch was covered. St. Philaret was covered. Vladika Vitaly was covered.

Not systematically. Traditionally, in Greece, he bishop is sat on a chair even dead and the face uncovered. But he can be in a coffin too, but with the face uncovered.

Christ is Risen!

Thanks Jean-Serge for the clarification.
