The Schindlers will have to have their own memorial mass and service, or can Michael stop that too?

I won't be surprised if he tries to. He is evil incarnate, like the other two. Possessed, if you ask me, though I'm no expert on that.

It could presumably be a secret mass for Terri, but I think that he can block an open one. We'll find out in a week, to paraphrase Ike, who once quipped when asked to name what important thing that Nixon had done in that administration.

I would think TAdams, that the Schindlers could have a memorial mass for their daughter ... in life or death, she doesn't cease to be their daughter.

No, of course not. Neither can he prevent them from placing a memorial display (headstone, whatever) on a plot of land (cemetery or otherwise) that the Schindlers own (although zoning and land use and/or cemetery use restrictions might limit that to some extent). As Terri's legal guardian, Michael Schiavo has--obviously--quite a bit of power. But although he may control Terri and her eventual remains, he absolutely has no control over such things as memorial services and memorial structures.
