Catholic funerals are normally associated with two rites. One is commonly referred to as the funeral service, which can be conducted within the Mass or apart from it, and the burial service that is conducted at the place of interment. In these worship services, God’s mercy is called down on the deceased person asking that he be saved from eternal death and brought into paradise.
