Before someone condemns the use of white vestments, in the Maronite Rite, the color of vestments is not strictly codified as in the Latin rite.  Traditionally, the bishop of a diocese gives directives or guidelines.  In some dioceses, the priest may choose from among a few suitable colors.  As to concelebration at a funeral Mass, I don’t know if it’s something new/modernist.  
I didn’t know this Msgr., but :pray: for the repose of his soul.

Yes. Unfortunately, I'm not well versed enough in the Eastern Rites to know for sure, but I think concelebration has been a practice for a very long time in the "Sui juri" eastern Catholic Churches, at least those that use the liturgy of St. Chrysostom, but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the use of concelebration in the new mass has given it a very bad connotation.
