Witnesses have 'memorials', which are public discourses, given from God's Word in Kingdom Halls (the places of worship for Jehovah's Witnesses), funeral homes or at the graveside. They do not have funerals in Churches. These memorial talks usually explain how death came to the human family thru Adam and Eve's sin. (Genesis Chapter 3) They then give comfort for the grieving ones, from The Bible, and then explaining how Jesus Christ taught his Father's will and then gave his life so that we could have everlasting life. (John 3:16, 17) This 'everlasting life' will be either in resurrection to Heaven serving with the resurrected Jesus Christ as kings and priests (Revelation 20:6), or as resurrected subjects on the cleansed Earth who will benefit from the blessing of the Heavenly Kingdom, in the near future. (Revelation 21: 3,4) The speaker then relates fond memories of the dead loved one and words of comfort for the grieving ones. Then, after a song of praise to Jehovah God, a closing prayer is given asking for God to strengthen those left behind.

Can you hold funeral during Holy Week?

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.

When a pastor dies who takes over the church?

They probably have a funeral for the pastor, then get another one. In my experience, the above answer held. When my church's former senior pastor passed away, we held a funeral for him. Afterward, we kept praying for a new senior pastor to lead our church, and one year later, God answered us by choosing one Holy Spirit-filled pastor out of more than eighty applicants.

Are funerals supposed to be kept on the sabbath?

It is more a matter of traffic control than anything else. Regular canonical ( within the Church norms of the Canon Law) Masses are on a regular schedule on Sundays- in the Roman church. Therefore it is extremely unlikely to hold a requiem or funeral mass on Sundays. This is more a matter of traffic control than anything else- the same, for different reasons, applies to Weddings. Weddings are usually held on Saturday afternoons ( to avoid tie-ups with the regular schedule of Masses) The Mass is ended, Go in Peace- Deo Gratis! (Thanks be to God!)
