Yes, a Catholic priest can refuse someone communion under certain circumstances. The Catholic Church teaches that those who are in a state of mortal sin or who have not received the Sacrament of Reconciliation should not receive communion. Additionally, a priest may withhold communion if there are public scandals or controversies involving the individual in question.
The future tense of "withhold" is "will withhold." For example, "I will withhold the information until further notice."
For a catholic there are the 5 big events within the church.

Anyone can technically receive Communion, but that is not the way it is supposed to work. You have to be a Catholic first of all, and before anyone receives Communion they are supposed to ask for forgiveness of their sins from God. Catholics believe that you have to ask for forgiveness as well as perform an assigned penance from a priest. Not many Catholics follow this tradition however. Only Catholics in the state of grace - that is, free of mortal sin on their conscience - may receive Communion at a Catholic funeral. Often, as mentioned above, attendees of the funeral feel compelled to go to Communion as an expression of social solidarity, however, reception of the sacrament is not an essential part of participation in a funeral Mass and Communion should not be approached if one is a non-Catholic, or conscious of mortal sin upon one's own soul. To receive while in mortal sin is to commit a grave sacrilege. If one is Catholic and wishes to receive but thinks themselves in mortal sin, it is best to request the sacrament of Confession from a priest before the ceremony. It is highly encouraged to receive the Holy Eucharist, especially in order to offer it for the repose of the deceased.
Roman Catholic AnswerFirst, let me extend my condolences on the death of your Nana, I am so sorry. If you are a baptised Catholic, who has made his first Holy Communion, and have gone to confession, then, of course, you may receive Holy Communion. If you are not a baptised Catholic or have not made your first Holy Communion, then you make what we call a "spiritual Communion" which is what a Catholic would do if they have not been to Confession, asking Jesus to come into your heart.

It is not a wake. the wake is at the funeral home where the body is viewed. what you are describing is an after-funeral Supper, possibly this practice ( which is not religious- not a mass or anything like that) might correlate to the Last Supper of Christ and the Apostles- or the related Lutheran term-Lord"s Supper- usually applied to Communion. Not a wake! Come alive!
