A second, connected question, is whether Catholics eat bread (wafer crackers) and drink wine at communion? The drinking wine bit is very important. A third question is what are the times that communion is held?

+ Funeral +
A Catholic funeral is broken into three parts.
The Vigil. The night before the Requiem Mass, a prayer service is celebrated. Eulogies are said at this time. The Irish culture call this a wake.
The Requiem Mass. A full Mass with Scripture read and explained and Eucharist (Holy Communion) received with extra funeral prayers.
The Burial. A short final prayer service at graveside. A reception at someone's home with food may follow.
+ Bread and wine +
Catholics believe that Jesus is fully present in either the Body (consecrated bread) or Blood (consecrated wine). Receiving either one is considered Eucharist.
Receiving both the Body and Blood is considered best.
+ Times +
Eucharist (Holy Communion) is celebrated during every Mass. Mass schedules are different at every parish. Masses are usually celebrated at least one daily with more celebrated on Sundays.

Having communion is part of the Roman Catholic Mass regardless of why the mass is being held. And yes, there are funeral masses.
The bread and wine is the consecrated body and blood of Jesus The Christ. Both are part of communion.
Communion is towards the end of mass and is the final step in the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

At a catholic funeral it would be normal to have a Requiem Mass. As at any other Mass, those who wish to receive Communion do so.
Normally only the bread is received, but sometimes both bread & wine.
There is no fixed time when Mass can or cannot be held.

it is large that you probably did this. i'm no longer so confident no matter if it truly is really names that we are reported as, more effective so recommendations and techniques. case in point, monks are reported as pedophiles, we worship Mary and the Pope, we are no longer Christians, we are cannibals, we pray to saints, cultists, satanists, and obviously, the whore of Babylon. those impolite, boastful and infantile feedback receives them no the position- so I fail to work out the point for why human beings call us those names. Even after answer after answer declaring that we do not worship Mary, they nonetheless go on declaring that we do, like they have some divine reason to believe that. they're only misinformed- and it truly is with the help human beings Catholics to set those questions instantly. Ever word even as a Protestant asks a question about the Catholic church, many Catholics answer thorough and targeted solutions, the right answer- however the Protestant nonetheless options yet another Protestant answer because the perfect answer? i imagine it truly is effortless insecurities. all of us comprehend that none of those names or claims are actual, and that i experience that looking for the right solutions from fellow Catholics right here in R&S will purely make us superior. Protestants are lacking a lot- they don't seem to be purely lacking the really body and Blood of Christ, they're lacking so a lot more effective, God's actual presence. forget concerning the assaults, because it is purely blatant lies.

You only have communion if you are a catholic that has had their first holy communion sacrament.
Communion is done during mass.
