Tomi, that is rough. This lady meant something to you, but you weren't even told of her passing until after the funeral. Funerals are for the loved ones left behind. They help us to make sense of our feelings, and to find some closure. It must hurt to be deprived of that, and also the fact that they knew she was important to you and didn't tell you.
