A Catholic funeral rite is broken into three parts.
The Vigil. This used to be called the Rosary. The night before the Requiem Mass, a prayer service is celebrated. Eulogies and/or the rosary may also be 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.
With love in Christ.

No ritual, just instantly with the Lord.
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
