To dream of a funeral service in a mortuary, or any other edifice, portends unhappiness followed by rejoicing.
If the service is for a stranger, anxiety over a perplexing difficulty.
If it is a member of the family, it denotes good health in spite of worries, which may have caused the dream.

If the dreamer is mournful over the funeral of the relative, it is a wish cycle from the waking state expressing a desire to be rid of the relative.
