* The funeral of the Comedian in ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]'', including several of his former comrades paying tribute. And at least one of his former enemies. As befits the book's [[Deconstruction]] status, it shows us the solemn ceremony, including his burial with full military honors. It juxtaposes that with individual characters silently remembering what [[Sociopathic Hero|The Comedian]] was ''really'' like.
* Splinter's funeral in ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mirage]]'' was one of these, featuring a significant amount of the series' supporting cast and even the creators themselves in a cameo.
* After his [[Heroic Sacrifice]], the original [[Starman (Comic Bookcomics)|Starman]], Ted Knight, was given a full-issue funeral with eulogies by various Justice Society members, Starmen, and his cousin the Phantom Lady, amongst others. It helped transition into the series' final story arc.
* Despite {{spoiler|1=the fact she was [[The Mole]] all along, betrayed them all savagely (once she had learned their secret IDs), strung them all up in a HIVE trap, then attempted to kill them all}}, killing only herself in the process, the [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]] still gave Terra a hero's funeral and statue in their memorial hall.
* The funeral of [[The Flash|Bart Allen]] (Impulse, Kid Flash, the Flash) was given a lot of attention in the Titans comic. That he came back a year or so later (as comic characters are wont to do) dampens it a bit, but doesn't cancel out the tearjerkers entirely... Especially since it invovles watching the video he made, telling people how much he'd loved being Kid Flash and wanted to live up to his Grandfather's legacy - a video which is just a bit out of date, as he keeps talking to characters who died ''before'' Bart did.
