Tell me if I understand correctly.

1. The elements are served.
2. They had been consecrated the day prior, Maundy Thursday.
3. The Church respects the death of Christ by considering itself symbolically dead on Good Friday.

You got it.

(I should note that in case of emergency, i.e. impending death, a priest can offer Last Rites. Otherwise there are no sacraments during this period.)
