[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was the deceased a member of the congregation, or even of the denomination? [/quote]

Non-denominational church. The deceased was not a member of the congregation.

Most religious communities willingly do this final service for the deceased relatives of congregants and clergy, even if they are unable to accommodate unaffiliated people. My own community (which is three hours away from the deceased) does this all the time for congregants and clergy. And when my ex husband died, his service and burial was by a religious community with whom we had zero prior connection. [/quote]

What religious community gave your ex a free service and burial? Why don’t you ask them to do the same for this relative? Also tell us so we can have outr families buried for free. Awesome!![/quote]

Every Catholic is entitled to a funeral Mass.

Every Jew is entitled to a Jewish burial.

These communities donate their services and goods because funerals of their faithful are deeply sacred to them. [/quote]
