No, Catholic weddings and funerals can not be held during the Easter Triduum. Both of these services include a Mass and no Masses are held in the Church from the end of the Holy Thursday Mass until the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday.
A traditional Catholic Funeral depends on the culture that the funeral is being held in. The traditional Catholic Western Cultural funeral begins with a mass in which the body is blessed, mass is said, and the body is placed in the grave. the biggest difference is that there is a catholic mass in the funeral rights.

Dean Martin's wife's funeral was held at a Catholic church, so I would assume that he is Catholic.
No marriages nor funerals are held on Holy Saturday.
They try not to have them on or near Church Holidays, such as Holy Thursday. This is more of a matter of traffic control than anything else- likewise, weddings are normally held if in the Church ( which is right and proper) on Saturdays as this does not conflict with Sunday masses, again a traffic control matter.
Whitney Houston's funeral was held at noon on Saturday, February 18, 2012 at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey, which seats up to 1,500 people. The service was by invitation only.
A Catholic may be buried on any day, although there are days when a funeral Mass would not be allowed, for instance during the Easter Triduum (Holy Thursday evening, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.)
You can plan a funeral any day but the holding of a funeral is different. Funerals are held Mondays to Saturdays and are not held on a Sunday.
At a Jewish funeral home or synagogue or at the graveside.
In the traditional liturgy and in the modern liturgy, the Ceremonies of Easter Vigil (held on Holy Saturday) were initially either black or purple for the blessing of the New Fire, and the Pashcal Candle. After that, at the procession of the candle and the singing of the Exsultet, the vestments were changed to white/gold to celebrate the rising of Christ from the Dead.
You must be referring to a Catholic funeral where a brief rite is held at the door of the church when the priest receives the casket containing the deceased at the beginning of a funeral Mass. He then leads the procession to the front of the church.
