A Catholic funeral typically occurs within a week after death, depending on local customs, family needs, and church/cemetery availability.
The Vigil with community prayers, the Funeral Mass centered on the Eucharist, and the Committal at the place of burial—expressing hope in the Resurrection and prayers for the deceased.
