Ug,
The Arizona masonic web site includes WOW as a Masonic organization.
Here is a MKT/WOW monument from 1919, in a Catholic cemetery.

Nice To See You Back White Heart!! Nice Pic Too.
A couple things to keep in mind that I've seen with cemeteries from that era and some farther back to present day is that there are areas in Protestant Cemeteries for Catholics....The ground has been consecrated for Catholic Burials....Some for Jewish even and some like a big one here have a section for Masons and wives if they had them who wanted to be buried in the same section as their Masonic Brothers... that particular cemetery was founded by Masons. The same works in Catholic Cemeteries for Protestant Burials.
Like Reb said there are Catholic Masons but that's not in keeping with being in good standing with the Catholic Church.
I haven't heard of it lately but years ago if the Catholic Church found out a Man was a Mason, he could and most likely would be excommunicated... period.
After your hand sign thread where we were all talking about this, I pulled out Cabinet/Mass cards and the Books of Catholic Mass of Christian Burials from 1858 to 1962 I think it is. One of these books walks Non Catholic attendees through the funeral Mass in detail.
I thought if you wanted to know how it was done back then in the Catholic Church from last rights if they could be preformed, caskets, to walking to the Church and then Cemetery for Burial. All prayers and rituals are included in these books, I have them handy so just ask if there's something you'd like to know about the formal Mass of Burial and Rosary. I'm happy to share.
Funny story... back in late April I was at a Catholic Wedding with Full Mass at a Church I hadn't been to in years... anyway when I went up for communion I drank from the Chalice and it was Mogen David Wine! I didn't expect Jewish Wine at an Italian Catholic Wedding! lol!
