Imagine how awkward a funeral would be if the corpse could actually hear the sobs and kind words being spoken over them.

Actually, some people are into that kind of thing. There's a whole subculture that fetishizes consensual, reversible death; it's called 'snuffie.'

Did you try bugmenot? It might have a login.

That's a good idea - I should have tried it earlier, but I've never been one for bugmenot. Sadly:

Living funerals are not that unusual or awkward.

Depends what kind of living funeral we're talking about...
