Meaning of funeral :
The ritual of honoring the body of a deceased person and respectfully bringing that body to a final resting place. The Catholic Church’s funeral liturgy proceeds usually in four stages: 1) Gathering in the presence of the deceased body and blessing it, 2) Vigil or wake service the day before the main funeral celebration, 3) A Mass of resurrection remembering the deceased and commending him/her to the Lord, 4) Burial rite, where the body or ashes are placed in a final resting place with a blessing and prayer. The word is most often used for #3 of this process. At the funeral Mass the family is encouraged to have the body present and only after that send it for burial or cremation. If a eulogy about the person is desired, the funeral Mass is not the time for that. It is usually done at the vigil service the night before.
