I have an analogous question: since one of the corporal works of mercy is to bury the dead, then if one is not permittted to have a funeral Mass, what is done for such a deceased individual?
Anyone know?
They are buried without a mass.

Dig 6 feet
Place coffin

They can have a memorial Mass. No body (in any form) is present.
Family may attend. It is more like a Daily Mass with a few references to the deceased.
