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.
