Or just don't hold that sort of shit in a game at all. Christ. I've been playing video games my whole life and even I cringe at the degree of pathetic nerd-dom required to have funerals for people in an MMO.
I dunno man. I play Eve and used to play Runescape (still keep in touch with my old clan). I've made IRL friends through those games and I would want to do something to memorialize them if I found out one of them died. Since MMO guilds are pretty spread out geographically, an in-game tribute is kinda the most viable option.
I wouldn't shout it to the world cause that's just saying "hey, please grief us" but I'd want to do something more than just accept that a friend is gone and move along with my day.

I think that’s a major problem in general, when digital life replaces actual real life interaction.
