* [[Terry Pratchett]]'s [[Discworld]]: During a scene in ''Guards! Guards!'', when the Night Watch men buried one of their own, the copper Herbert Gaskin, one of the rapidly shrinking number of policemen in Ankh-Morpork, in the Cemetery of Small Gods, it was a grey, rainy day, with the raindrops drumming on the coffin as it was lowered into the sodden ground. Of course, that was the old Watch, full of washed-out losers... before the coming of Carrot Ironfoundersson. When we see the Cemetery of Small Gods in later novels, it's a peaceful (if somewhat overgrown) place full of blooming lilac where not many people come to visit.

* Averted in the "heart transplant" episode of ''[[Eerie, Indiana]]'', where the graveyard was sunny and comforting {{spoiler|but apparently stalked by the [[Grim Reaper]]}}.
* At the funeral at the end of ''[[Firefly]]'' episode "The Message", it snows. Very appropriate mood, as it was the day the actors had heard the show was [[Screwed by the Network|canceled]].
* Done a lot in [[The X-Files]], though this is more likely due to the fact that the first five seasons were filmed in Vancouver, which tends to be a bit dark and dreary anyway.
** During Mulder's funeral, however, in season eight, there are clouds and snow on the ground.
