Morrissey was at the funeral (Score:0, Insightful)

He already paid his respects at the funeral, so maybe he didn't feel the need to be at the public memorial service.

Moz doesn't go to funerals of friends (Score:1)

I remember myself reading some time ago an interview with Morrissey during V&I era. At the time, a close friend of his, producer Mick Ronson, died of cancer. the Mozzer said he was so affected that he did not go to the funeral.

Perhaps that's the same that happened with him in relation to Kristy.
