What is a private funeral?

Funerals are generally open to anyone who wishes to attend. That's why the time, date and place of the funeral is published in the obituary.

A private funeral is only for guests who have been specifically invited to attend by the family of the deceased. That's why an obituary that says "private funeral will be held" does not mention any time, date or place for the funeral. Only invited guests will have that information.

A family chooses to have a private funeral when they want a small gathering of mourners -- close family members and close friends without co-workers, neighbors, fellow club members, classmates and so on showing up.

Also, a private funeral is usually held when the deceased is a celebrity or prominent public figure and the family doesn't want hundreds or thousands of fans or admirers or curious people to attend.

If a private funeral is held, then a month or so later, the family may choose to have some type of memorial service that is open to anyone who wishes to attend. The time, date and place of the memorial service is published in the newspaper on the 'obituaries' page and/or online.

Does a funeral on Saturday morning fulfill Sunday obligations?

NO the mass would have to take place after 4pm to count for Sunday

For non-Catholics, funerals and church services are entirely separate - so no matter what time a funeral is held, if you wish to spend time in worship, it is done outside of a funeral.

Answer:Within the Catholic faith, Sunday mass is an obligation. Some Catholics believe daily mass is an obligation. A Saturday funeral mass would fulfill the latter, but not the former. A Protestant answer:Mass is not an obligation. If you see it as one, then you might as well not go at all. When you go to church, you go to connect with God. And connecting with God is not fulfilled in a weekly obligation to Sunday mass. You connect with God through denying yourself (putting away your selfish desires and lifestyles to live a life that gives God glory) taking up your cross ( growing in knowledge of the bible and praying) and following Jesus (Jesus is the only way to heaven, you cant do it any other way). God doesn't want your weekly attendance to church, he want a daily relationship with you. He wants to hear your problems, listen to your praises, and spend time with you. How can you grow intimate with someone without spending time with them? I know its a lot to take in, but to answer your question; No, Saturday afternoon funerals do not fulfill Sunday mass obligation because your mass is not an obligation. Hope it helps. =)

Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."
