[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Funeral was today. It was a beautiful service and a beautiful day.

I put one of my arms across my chest (the other was carrying my toddler) and my other child did the same.

I suppose there's a chance my mom may bring it up later because I know she saw that I didn't take communion but probably not.

I appreciate everyone's comments.[/quote]

God bless you and your family. [/quote]

OP here. Thank you so much. Her viewing and funeral were both very hard days. I didn't want to leave her..[/quote]

In a way, I did something similar at  the funeral of the father of a friend of mine.   My friend planned the whole catholic funeral, with the priest aware that the friend was no longer Catholic, but wanted a full Catholic funeral to honor his father's wishes.  The priest kept giving my friend the opportunity to make his confession, which my friend, now an atheist, had no intention of doing.

When the priest made the announcement during the mass that only Catholics "in good standing" could receive communion, I got mad and went up to communion, along with a practicing Catholic mutual friend (who hadn't been to confession recently) who was also mad.

I knew all the right moves from my Catholic childhood and my friend and his immediate, non-Catholic, family enjoyed it tremendously.[/quote]
