Empty Funeral

No one even came for the hors d'oeuvres...

If somebody would have an Empty Funeral, that means no one would come to their funeral when they died because of how unloved they were, let it be that they were hated or simply unknown. Having an Empty Funeral in real life might be the worst thing to ever happen to some people as nobody would come to respect them after they passed.

Examples of Empty Funeral
The Simpsons - 'Round Springfield. After Lisa's jazz musician friend Bleeding Gums Murphy dies in a hospital from an illness, she decides the best way she could honor his death is by having his album play on the radio for all the Springfielders to hear. Before this, she goes to his funeral, only to find out that she is the only one to have attended other than Rev. Lovejoy who fumbles Murphy's name a couple of times, angering Lisa.
