One of the greatest acts of charity is to pray for the living and the dead, and the greatest and most powerful prayer we have is the Mass, since the fruits of the Mass are the very fruits of Jesus' redemption.   For that reason, all are encouraged to have Mass offered for loved ones who have died, or even for the living who have some need.
