If someone dies in the middle of converting to Catholicism

[Darbie]

Could they still get a Catholic funeral? What if it was before they started RCIA? I’m sure they couldn’t get the full 9 yards, but is there anything they might could get? Like a prayer said…or…anything else?

 

[1ke]

Can. 1183 §1. When it concerns funerals, catechumens must be counted among the Christian faithful.

§2. The local ordinary can permit children whom the parents intended to baptize but who died before baptism to be given ecclesiastical funerals.

§3. In the prudent judgment of the local ordinary, ecclesiastical funerals can be granted to baptized persons who are enrolled in a non-Catholic Church or ecclesial community unless their intention is evidently to the contrary and provided that their own minister is not available.

If one is “in the middle of converting” one would be enrolled in RCIA.
If one is seriously considering converting, one should meet with the priest asap. A serious discussion with one’s loved ones or a very close friend to announce your intentions is also prudent. That way, God forbid, should you pass before your instruction and entry into the Church was completed, many people would know what you would need/want for your funeral, which would be certainly held in the Church, as noted in the above post.
Be at peace, and be assured of our prayers.
