A Catholic funeral is broken into three parts. The Vigil. This used to be called the Rosary. The night before the Requiem Mass, a prayer service is celebrated. Eulogies and/or the rosary may also be said at this time. The Irish culture call this a wake. A reception with food may follow. The Requiem Mass. A full Mass with Scripture read and explained and Eucharist (Holy Communion) received with extra funeral prayers. The Burial. A short final prayer service at graveside. A reception at someone's home with food may follow. Source: http://www.catholic-ew.org.uk/liturgy/Resources/OCF/index.html
