What happens to stillborn babies?

[papaswigs]

My daughter called and shared that a friend of hers lost her twins five months into her pregnancy. She asked what does the Catholic Church teach on what would be the proper way to bury the twins?
A Funeral Mass?
Would a Mass Card Be Appropriate?
Without Baptism, What do we believe is the place of the twins?

Thank You
