Why do prayers, Bible readings change at Catholic funerals at Easter, compared to other times of the year?
I need to know for an assignment about Catholic funerals.
The prayers at funerals at Easter differ from ones at other times, and I was just wondering why. I know it must have something to do with Jesus’ resurrection, I just would like a more exact reason.
Thanks.
Also, if you could source anything, it would be greatly appreciated.

The emphasis during Easter time is on the Resurrection and so the readings and prayers give that emphasis and on the Victory of the Paschal Lamb(Revelation readings,for example)
