Given this new trend for Marvel females to reveal their sex lives at the deceased's funeral, I'm dreading Wolverine's.  It'll take months.

They'll have to make a memorial with all of the names of Wolverine's conquests carved into it.

Given the women involved, that could cause some real fights over the placement of certain names. Who would go at the top, after all?
I am Bastion. BC has declared it so. No wonder I find triangular cuts and magenta on all my favorite characters.

Well, his women have a horrible mortality rate. I doubt any of them will still be alive by the time he bites the big one.

Good point....  Is Deathstrike still on the list?  That'd make for an awkward funeral....

"As we have reached the end of the D's, we will now take a brief recess for refreshment before the naming of the next group of conquests."

Wonder if we should start looking forward to these funeral issues just to get this dirt of who slept with who lol. Poor Nightcrawler apparently had no dirt to bring out, everyone knew all his conquests already. Poor fuzzy one.

I think I would least like any of the X-Men's female telepaths to show up to my funeral. They'd be showing an indecent amount of cleavage and would be busy trying to make it all about them. (I'm discounting Jean because she's, well... dead. Emma and Psylocke are BANNED from my funeral.)

Psylocke doesn't go to funerals.  She goes to celebrations of life.

No way Kitty's eulogy belongs on this list.  The author -- using Kitty as his voice -- was using her and the story to make a point about tolerance.  That was neither racist nor inappropriate (for a story).  Perhaps, in real life, such a point would have been out of place for a funeral; but in a story it was entirely appropriate.

As JanO said, one of Kitty's finest moments.  Right up there with God Loves, Man Kills, when she stood up to Stryker to support Nightcrawler.

Considering it was Kitty's rudeness that drove Larry to commit suicide, she was in no position to get on her high-horse at his funeral and chastise other people for using nasty words. It was rude of her to even show up to the funeral.

Nonsense.  It was entirely appropriate for her to be present.  Teenagers make mistakes, especially social mistakes.  She admitted her mistake.  She was talking about what she had learned.  She was explaining how this boy had made a difference in her life and how she had grown as a moral person.  This was entirely appropriate.  At my eulogy I hope someone can come forward and talk about how they learned to be a better, more moral person, because of their interactions with me.

All Kitty admitted to during her eulogy was not knowing Larry very well. She didn't fess up to the fact that she was the last person with whom he ever conversed, and that her parting words were to tell him off for not being nice without taking the time to explain why. Her PC indignation had a body count is all I'm sayin'.

Plus, she only really cared when she found out he was a mutant.  She's rude, self righteous, and totally racist!  She's such a jerk!  And she looked like The Ugly One when she gave that speech.

It was in no way appropriate for her to be there. She met him... what? Once or twice? And then decided that his funeral, where people who knew and loved him could say their final farewells, an important part of the grieving process, was the correct time and place to lecture people on their carelessness of wording? Sorry, but someone like Kitty would be about as welcome at my funeral as the Westboro Baptists would be.

I'm calling Cyke out on his lousy planning on Kurt's funeral. In the midst of a war to save an entire subspecies, he jjust decides to have a slapdash funeral for Kurt? Shouldn't stopping Bastion be higher on such a noted tactician's to do list? He tells Warren to take care of the body. What does he know about enbalming? Why make Iceman give the eulogy instead of a Catholic priest? He doesn't even wait for Amanda Sefton to show up. Surely they could've put Kurt in a freezer and given him a proper funeral after Second Coming. Instead Cyclops chooses to further endanger mutantity by immediately throwing the shoddiest funeral ever.

Or even better, waiting until the war was over for this whole thing because he's pretty sure more people are going to die.  They're in the middle of being attacked.  There's no time to reflect or speak or have a wake.  It does read as disrespectful, like it's just this thing they need to do and so they hurry up and get it out of the way.  Yuck, Scott.  I can see why Logan hates you right now.

I read this and LOL'ed. The X-Men, with their endless supply of blackbird's, unstable molecular clothing, brain raping super computers, and giant ex-asteroid-space-colony-converted-into-an-island, only having one copy of the bible is hilarious.

Apparently, the X-Men use all the supplies you mentioned as standard operating equipment in the normal course of their day, unlike the Bible, which they use far less frequently. 
 
After all, they are Super Heroes, not religious leaders.  Now, if you told me a specific church or group of religious who believe in the Bible only had one copy they had to share, yeah, that would be hilarious.  And sad.

So we're supposed to assume Sack's funeral took place off-panel, right? Or do you think there's still some ooze-covered rock out on Utopia somewhere that they haven't cleaned off yet?

I found this pretty funny.  Also am I the only one that was completely wigged out when they flipped to Kurt's funeral and saw Bling! staring at god-knows-what?  Scary....

The Sack goo covered rock is right out there with Toad's finger, just baking in the sun. Eventually some cosmic rays or such will hit them both and create some super goo finger mutant that will take their spot in the background. There has to be cannon fodder for the next event after all.
