Officially, under the Canon law, No! This was carried out in practice with the funerals of the actresses Lupe Velez and Carole Landis. Both took their own lives ( Landis and Velez both left notes). They were nominal Catholics but were refused burial in Catholic cemeteries. In the case of Miss Landis, an Episcopal minister officiated. Of course if there is some doubt, some sort of accident, that is another matter.

Can a Catholic funeral be held for someone who has died by suicide"?

Yes, a Catholic funeral can be held for someone who has died by suicide.

Why is Ophelia's funeral so brief and unceremonious?

"Her death was doubtful" says the churlish priest that is conducting the funeral. There is a strong suspicion that she committed suicide. Yes, I know Gertrude said it was pure accident, but she could have been lying to spare Laertes's feelings. In Catholic practise, a person who commits suicide cannot be given a proper burial or be buried in consecrated ground.

When did the Catholic Church allow people who committed suicide to be buried with a Catholic Service?

Up until recently, the Catholic Church considered those who committed suicide to have been guilty of a mortal sin and would automatically be condemned to hell. Thus they were forbidden a Catholic burial. However, recent advances in mental health science demonstrate that most of those who commit suicide are suffering from various forms of mental illness and not totally responsible for their actions. To be guilty of a mortal sin a person must be completely aware of the action they are taking and of its consequences.
