Guest, funeral guest, mourner the people who come to a funeral....
I don't know a single definition of patron that would fit .
I might also use mourner.
A particular sentence, and probably only if I was using the full term "funeral guest".

After attending a funeral Mass today and seeing the Priest in white vestments I wonder what the most common colour of vestment seems to be at funeral Masses.
I would want black vestments and I'm curious to see if anyone's parish uses black vestments.

The priest uses black.
In the Byzantine Rite a funeral is more of a day of penance asking.
Red is for a Martyr.

Be in the depths of hell.

At Catholic funerals when people--all at once--drop flowers onto a
casket in a ditch, do they bring the flowers to funeral, or are they
already there?
Thank you in advance....
