Answer from one of Jehovah's Witnessses
Jehovah's Witnesses believe the dead are non-existent and would neither benefit or be harmed by anything the living do. Those wanting to show honour to the memory of one of Jehovah's Witnesses would perhaps want to also keep in mind their firm stand against customs and beliefs they view as unbiblical (see links below). It is unlikely that any living relatives of the deceased that are Jehovah's Witnesses would attend such a ceremony.
Roman Catholic AnswerThat depends on what you mean by "appropriate". Besides, Masses are not said to "honor" the dead. A Mass is said to help the person who is in purgatory as they can not help themselves. The Bible tells us: " ... it is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from their sins." 2 Macchabees 12:46. Before Vatican Council II, Masses were never offered for those who died outside the Church. As we recognize that God may intervene before death, there may be people who were not visible members of the Church who attain salvation, "but only as through fire" (1 Cor 3:11-15) {purgatory}; so we can have Masses said for those who died outside the visible Church in the hope that they attained purgatory. Such prayers never go to "waste" as God uses them as He sees fit. If you are asking for a Mass to "honor" someone then you are making a mistake, if you are asking for one in order to help someone you cared about, then, as the book of Macchabees says, "it is a good and holy thing".
