Line 34:
* In ''[[Charade]]'', there is a funeral scene that is minimally attended, mostly by people making sure the corpse was actually dead.
* Parodied in ''[[I'm Gonna Git You Sucka]]''. A crowd of people show up for Junebug's funeral. When they realize they're at the wrong funeral, they all leave, taking all of the funeral decorations as they go. The only people left are Junebug's immediate family.
* Predicted in ''[[
** Although after the reboot, Felix Leiter could come as well. But that still makes two.
*** This is interesting to think about, considering they seemed to have dropped the Moneypenny character after Pierce Brosnan was done being Bond. Coincidence?

* {{spoiler|Gatsby's funeral}} from ''[[The Great Gatsby]]''. Used to show how fair-weather all of his friends were. Except {{spoiler|Nick, and the owl-eyed man from the library.}}
* [[Terry Pratchett]]'s ''[[Discworld/Guards! Guards!|Guards! Guards!]]'' opens with a copper's funeral, with only his three squadmates attending, to show just how little regard the Night Watch is held in. The sequel ''[[Discworld/Men At Arms|Men At Arms]]'' has something similar happen to Edward D'Eath's father, which helps send him off the deep end.
* Jim Butcher's'' [[Dresden Files]]'': In ''Turn Coat'', {{spoiler|Morgan}} had no mourners at his funeral, owing to [[Malicious Slander|the story they put out]], but they engaged in [[To Absent Friends]].
* Mercedes Lackey's ''Alta'': {{spoiler|Prince Toreth}}. Given an insultingly extravagant state funeral that not even his own parents attended, only his brother and {{spoiler|the other jousters of his wing}}

* In [[
* In ''[[Fable]] 2'', Hammer's adopted father, the head priest of the Temple of Light is killed trying to protect Hammer. You, Hammer, and three monk's attend the funeral. Nobody from the town who's prosperity is given to them by the Monk's holy tree, attends. To make matters worse, the monks depart immediately after the prayer, ignoring Hammer as she calls them out for their callous nature and the callous "business as usual" way the world is treating the death of this man.
* In ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]'', the ending shows a funeral for {{spoiler|Ramza}} attended by a handful of elderly people, who were merely mourning the extinction of the noble {{spoiler|Beoluve}} family. An example of a [[Hero with Bad Publicity]].
