Not uncommon in my experience. Have been to several for family members and close friends. In fact, after my grandfather's funeral(on way to cemetary) we first cousins still laugh (in a limo there were 7 of us) about asking driver to stop at MacDonalds as some were hungry. It was a very long day, while at the time I didn't fully appreciate. Having memories of how your loved one was loved or may have touched someone for a moment is a gift.
No matter his past, George was murdering. His family lived him and some people were touched by him. To me also emphasizes funerals are for the living.
