I can't really see the difference between a funeral and anything else.
If the deceased was poor and those paying for the funeral also, then
maybe. But otherwise things have to be paid for in life or death.

Strictly yes.

But what happened to pride and honour?

I'd be *thrilled* if someone saw fit to play a composition of mine at a
friend / loved ones funeral. Money would not come into it.
