> Juli: You're right, there wasn't any funeral for Sirius, during 
Dumbledore's funeral, it says Harry had never been to  funeral, he 
was to young when his parents died, and when Sirius died there was no 
body therefore no funeral.
>  
> I do wish there had been a funeral, service or some sort of reunion 
to conmemorate the life of Sirius, a way to say good bye, farewell, 
see you soon or something. 

Potioncat:
It seems odd that if JKR likes Sirius so much, and he's so important 
to Harry, that there wasn't a service. JKR covers the will and 
transfer of the house in a few short paragraphs. I think that with 
DD's funeral coming up, she didn't want to slow down the story with 
another funeral. But it's sort of jarring to have...nothing.

On the other hand, who would have planned one? And would the Black 
family have insisted a wake be held at 12 GP?
