When the friends, loved ones and acquaintances of a deceased person congregate around a coffin to bury the cadaver under dirt and white lies.
"Instead of a funeral, I'd like to be cremated with the intention of having my ashes preserved in a snow globe."

A ceremony (often religious) commemorating the life of a deceased person. Usually includes a memorial service and a eulogy. Some say they are pointless because the person is dead and doesn't know the difference, but it's important for those left behind to say a final goodbye. Generally a funeral is followed by a burial. Funerals often are extremely sad depending on well one knew the deceased and if the person died young and/or suddenly.
This morning I went to a funeral for this kids dad. It was very sad.

A funeral is the ceremony that is held when the body of someone who has died is buried or cremated.
If you know the deceased, "I'm so very, very sorry. He was a wonderful man." If the person was, say, a relative of a friend, and you're attending the funeral to give support for your friend, you might say how sorry you are, and then, "Fred had nothing but good things to say about his Uncle John. He had a huge impact on his life, and he loved his uncle dearly."
