[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if you have a parent who ends up impoverished but still attending a Catholic Church regularly - but not as some manner of dues paying member - you may find (as I did) that the church they attended and gave their time to will refuse to hold a funeral service for them.  And will refuse to allow any priest of the church to hold a funeral service for them in any other place - such as hospital chapel - because it's not Catholic hallowed ground.  As Fleetwood Mac said - "been down one time, been down two times -- never going back again."  [/quote]

When my uncle was dying, my aunt got a call from the pastor to see why they hadn't been at mass for a few months. My aunt explained that things were not good and it wasn't possible for them to get to mass. The pastor didn't offer to bring communion or anointing of the sick but instead said "When you know you can still mail your offering envelope." It took him several months for to realize that dedicated parishioners were MIA and then as more concerned about their money. [/quote]
