A Catholic may be buried on any day, although there are days when a funeral Mass would not be allowed, for instance during the Easter Triduum (Holy Thursday evening, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.)
Catholics and Orthodox Christians have distinct funeral practices shaped by their theological beliefs and traditions. Catholics typically emphasize the importance of the Mass, including the Eucharist, during funeral services, and they often hold wakes prior to the funeral. In contrast, Orthodox funerals focus on a liturgical service that includes a series of prayers and hymns, with a strong emphasis on the resurrection and the eternal life of the deceased. Additionally, Orthodox practices often involve a three-day mourning period and specific rituals related to burial and memorial services.
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!)

I will answer a question with a question: With catholics in second, third and forth world countries desperately poor and the vatican hold billions of dollars worth useless artifacts, what picture does that paint for you.
The Pentecostal Church.
Christianity is the primary faith that worships on Sunday, as it is traditionally considered the Lord's Day, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Many Christian denominations, including Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox Christians, hold worship services on Sundays. This practice reflects the significance of the day in the Christian calendar and community life.
