If funerals of the Irish are like I see in movies, then I think that they have it down. Funerals should be a celebration of someone's life. Not some grief stricken sob show. The grieving is something that has to take place over time if you were really close to the person. Grief is a personal thing and affects others differently. So, why not meet at a bar and toast a few memories instead of crying over a casket holding the lifeless body of the departed? A 'funeral' is for those still living. It should be made a happy time to lessen the feel of loss.
