The Last Supper
The length of a Catholic funeral mass can vary. However, it will generally last for about one hour. Stages include conveyance to the church, the cycle of prayers, the mass and then the absolution. Afterwards, the body is transported to the cemetery or crematory.

You might be a lapsed Catholic who is not attending Mass and services somewhere else, but that just makes you a Catholic who is not in a state of grace.

This is a very good thing, as you will die in a state of grace.
