| | | | | Q. | May a funeral Mass be celebrated for a non-Catholic Christian or a non-practicing Catholic?
| | | | | A. | There may be situations that warrant Catholic burial rites for non-Catholic Christians, although they are usually buried in accord with their church's rites and services.
Pastoral judgement would govern the situation regarding the burial of a non-practicing Catholic.
Under no circumstance are Catholic burial rites offered for a nonbaptized person, except in the case of a catechumen or a child who dies before an intended baptism.
