A small clarification may be of use in your search. Once the De Profundis
settled into a 'slot' in the 'official' formularies of the Roman rite, it
was not part of the formulary for the funeral Mass itself but rather of the
funeral rites (wake, vigil, procession) and/or the Office of the Dead used
on the evening and morning prior to the funeral Mass itself. More often than
not, these appeared in different books than the texts for the Mass.
Obviously, as has been noted, local and religious order usages varied
greatly from the 'official' Roman rite so it is possible that one may find
it in some variant formularies for the Mass itself.
