* In ''VideoGame/AWayOut'', [[spoiler:Leo's funeral (should the player decide to shoot him) plays out this way. It's justified because Leo is an escaped criminal who had assaulted and even killed several police officers, and held one (Vincent) hostage. Naturally, his marker is quite small and cheap-looking, with a small picture and a plain flower bouquet, and only [[MoralityPet his wife and son]] are seen paying their respects]].

* In "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12598784/1/Forfeit]]" [[spoiler: Nobody but the Kanker Sisters' mom including their three fathers attend their funeral. It's left ambiguous if their dads only were there out of obligation or it was to make up for the fact that none of them were remotely involved in their lives.]]

This can be used to show how the person had pushed everyone away until he was HatedByAll, or how trivial and shallow his life was, or how fair-weather his so-called-friends were, or how [[HeroWithBadPublicity his reputation]] lasted after death, or WhatYouAreInTheDark resulted in his death with no one knowing the truth, or the simple fact that no one even knew this person.

* In the ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel'' anime Ranpha had Forte fake her death as part of a scam she made by pretending to be dead in a coffin. When they got out of the coffin, they found only Vanilla and Nomad doing her funeral, most of their friends attended another man's funeral who was a high ranking officer, while they were buried in some asteroid as its the only thing they could afford.

* The funeral of ''FanFic/OldManHenderson'' is only attended by [[TagalongKid Jimmy and Kary]], as well as the priest giving the funeral service. This is because Henderson didn't have any friends other than his party members, who, [[ImprobableInfantSurvival aside from those two]], [[TotalPartyKill were all dead]], and the only reason ''they'' survived is because their players couldn't make it to the final session, so they were PutOnABus. The man himself actually requested that he ''not'' have a funeral and that his body just be chucked into the dump, [[TearJerker claiming nobody cared about him in life, so nobody will care that he died]], and his player was reportedly very touched that they gave him one at all. What was left of Henderson's money afterwards (that is, most of it) was then put into the two's college funds, as per Henderson's instructions in his will.

* The funeral of ''FanFic/OldManHenderson'' is only attended by [[TagalongKid Jimmy and Kary]]. This is because Henderson didn't have any friends in his life, other than his party members, all of which, [[ImprobableInfantSurvival except for those two]], [[TotalPartyKill he killed]]. Also because he actually told Jimmy to not bother much with the funeral. What was left of Henderson's money afterwards (that is, most of it) was then put into the two's college funds, as Henderson had actually said so in his testament. Again, [[TearJerker he didn't have other friends]] ([[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} not that he minded or noticed much]]).

* In the ''[[ComicBook/ChickTracts Chick Tract]]'' [[https://www.chick.com/products/tract?stk=1068 ''Mean Momma'']], the titular character's father was buried, with only a priest and a gravedigger attending the funeral.

* In ''Manga/PuellaMagiTartMagica'', the final chapter notes that the funeral of [[spoiler:Isabeau]] was barely attended and what a rarity this was [[spoiler:for royal funerals]].
