You know how some people have a sympathetic gag reflex if someone is throwing up? That's me with crying at funerals. Once someone else gets going it's hard for me to keep it together. To cope, I crack jokes in my head because it's easier to fight back laughter than tears, so I concentrate on that. Basically, try to find something else to focus on instead of all the emotions, but if the emotions come out, that's all right - it's a funeral, emotional outbursts are normal.
