Ellen didn't smile when she looked at Annemarie during the fake funeral because she was in a different world.
In "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, character Annemarie does not participate in a fake funeral. Instead, the story follows Annemarie's bravery and efforts in helping her Jewish friend Ellen and her family escape from the Nazis during World War II.

Yes, she requested to be late, it was her last joke. The announcement was made that she would be 15 minutes late, it was claimed that in life she was never on time and that habit would be carried on even in death. When the announcement was made at the burial site it is said that all laughed.
In "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, the people arriving for the funeral are actually Jewish family members who are being smuggled to safety in Sweden by Annemarie's family. They are pretending to attend a funeral as a cover for their escape from the Nazis in Denmark during World War II.
She was the fake great-aunt of Annemarie.
An obituary is a formal announcement of death, with details regarding family, achievements, and so forth. A funeral notice is a brief published notation of the fact of the death, and simple information such as the name of the mortuary. We assume that an "obituary notice" would combine the two, or perhaps be used to refer to a funeral notice.
