It fills both of those purposes and more. A funeral gives family and friends the opportunity to farewell the person and is especially important if the death has been sudden. It provides an opportunity to honor the dead person and mark their life as important, no matter how short their obituary. Also, it providesan opportunity to show support for the family in their loss, as well as for them to see that their loved one was valued beyond the family.
