The funeral is quiet but honorable, there is no priest to spew out a bunch of false hopes and lies, just a casket surrounded by green roses and a tasteful photo of Ed. Not a lot of people show up, Ed might have been well known in Gotham but he didn't have a lot of close friends. But that isn't to say there weren't a few who cared or respected him.
Lucius Fox is one of these, he approaches Ed's casket and after a moment of silent prayer or contemplation he lays Ed's old GCPD forensic badge on the top and then leaves, nodding at Oswald and Alfred but not staying to speak.
Lee is next, she comes alone and dressed in a black dress and veil, looking beautiful in a fragile, sorrowful way. She stands at the casket for much longer, tears tracking down her cheeks and after she has said her own silent goodbyes she takes out a small envelope, kisses it and places it inside.
