Funerals are for the living

Will we finally see Harry at a funeral or wake?

I been able to come up with a weak story on why Harry didn't go to 
Cedric's funeral.  It has to do with Harry feeling uncomfortable as he 
witnessed it and not wanting to be around Cedric's folks and their 
grief.

But I think Harry AND the Order need to have a funeral or a wake.  It 
doesn't need to be huge.  Just a private get together amoung friends 
and family.  What culture doesn't have a death rite?  I assume their is 
no body, but a body isn't needed.  Sure, it might be needed for those 
in denial.  But Harry needs a good cry in a safe situation where others 
may be feeling similarly about needless loss.

I feel I need to see Harry grieve and to see him change the shadow of 
anger and loss into the light of focus and triumph.
