The other thing could happen that some funerals are handled as celebration of life. Celebration of memory of the loved one. Remembering good times. Perhaps that’s how the person wanted it.

Also people smiling and not visibly grieving doesn’t mean they don’t grieve. Sometimes weird things happen, I didn’t cry at moms funeral because I was so frozen in grief plus I was physically tired and stressed with a lot of stuff to deal with during her illness and organizing funeral just a day after her death plus I had to be there for my dad who was an utter mess. I cried before and after but then I was in a fog
Yep I agree. People do grieve differently. I’ve seen people start laughing for no apparent reason, most likely it is them remembering something funny that happened that involved the deceased person. The mind will do that in times of grief, jump to happier times. I’ll admit I’ve done that. Never burst out laughing in front of others but I’ll randomly remember funny stuff.
