    I recently watched all three of the Peter Jackson directed LOTR movies and guess what? I don't care.

    Here is the funeral procession of Mahatma Gandalf:

    In the books

    Dumbledore's

    because you were never really sure that Gandalf was dead

    until he showed up again and told you that he had died (well, SORT of died).

    With Dumbly

    I was convinced that he had faked his death (which happened very near to the end of "The Half-Blood Prince" [THBP])

    but of course it turned out I was wrong.

    It just seemed like Dumbly had (probably, once again) fooled everyone and was going to reappear in the next book.

    BUT in THBP there was a funeral and everything.

    It DID SEEM as if he had really died

    and everyone reacted as if he had really died.

    Of course

    everyone in TLOTR also acted as if Gandalf had died

    but they were on a mission

    and didn't have a body

    and so didn't have a funeral

    and didn't really have time to mope about or eulogize like they did in THBP

    (in TLOTR the mourning was glossed over VERY quickly)

    and it didn't happen at the end of the book, but in the first third of the book.

    Note that shortly after Gandalf's "death", Boromir died, and for real. So: there was another death, a more certain death, only a little later in the story, and THAT death had a funeral, eulogy, etc.
