As to what Bill D terms ceremonial processes,
I am thinking back to the last funeral that I paid attention to
enough to watch it, in detail, on television. and that was:

King Hussein of Jordan. it's been a while.
That was a big deal, though, as there were so many dignitaries there,
so many who no longer live.
The announcer got so excited at who came from Israel, for example.
And then there were I forget how many ex-presidents of the US.
What I remember best is the walk to the gravesite,
and a street with everybody, dignitary and commoner alike,
walking together on camera.
