II. The Celebration of Funerals

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1684
The
Christian funeral confers on the deceased neither a sacrament nor a sacramental
since he has “passed” beyond the sacramental economy. It is
nonetheless a liturgical celebration of the Church.¹⁸⁵ The ministry of
the Church aims at expressing efficacious communion with the deceased, at the
participation in that communion of the community gathered for the funeral and
at the proclamation of eternal life to the community.
