Traditionally, Catholic Funerals Melbourne are denied to the unbaptized (note that catechumens, including infants whose parents planned on having them baptized, are baptized by desire, and that martyrs are baptized by blood); infidels; heretics; suicides (unless they were of unsound mind or showed signs of repentance); notorious, unrepentant sinners; the excommunicated; the schismatic; those under ecclesiastical censure; those who, without remorse, have openly held the sacraments in contempt; and those who’ve directed that their bodies be cremated. (Note: The 1983 Code of Canon Law Can. 1183 §3 strangely allows for baptized heretics to be given a Catholic funeral “provided their own minister is not available” and assuming it isn’t established that they wouldn’t want a Catholic funeral, all at the discretion of the Bishop — but then in Can. 1184 §1 goes to say that “notorious heretics” can’t have a Catholic funeral. As opposed to out and out refusal of a Catholic funeral for those who request their bodies be cremated, Can. 1184 §1 says that Catholic Funerals Melbourne are denied to those “who for anti­christian motives choose that their bodies be cremated.”)
