II. The Celebration of Funerals

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1688
The
liturgy of the Word during funerals demands very careful preparation because
the assembly present for the funeral may include some faithful who rarely
attend the liturgy, and friends of the deceased who are not Christians. the
homily in particular must “avoid the literary genre of funeral eulogy”¹⁸⁸
and illumine the mystery of Christian death in the light of the risen Christ.
