Do they have priests? Is there any such thing as religion at all for
wizards? If yes, do they have the same religions and denominations as
Muggles?

I don't think it is really a matter of religions or priests. Death has a
big role in all (I daresay) religions and beliefs, and in some way there
are always some funeral ceremony when a man has died. So whatever belief
system there is in Wizarding world, I think the absence of any kinf
seeing-off for Cedric is quite weird, and even more so for Sirius, who
is Harry's godfather after all.
