Best Answer

A funeral is basically an honoring of the deceased; a way to secure their rise to the afterlife, and sometimes to give them what they need to succeed and thrive there.

For example, in typical American funerals, people put flowers in the graves of the deceased, put the person in their best clothes, and also placed meaningful things into the coffin along with the deceased.

In Ancient Egyptian times, Pharaohs used to be buried with riches and their servants during their lifetime, so they could serve them in the afterlife, and the Pharaoh would also prosper and be at peace.
