    funerals are for the living, because the dead are beyond caring. having attended far too many funerals, i can assure you that whatever your aunt looked like in life, she does not look like in death.

    banish your guilt as it has no place in your memory of her. see her there, as she lived, not in a coffin, or being lowered in the ground.

    life is brief, concern yourself with living, and the living - not with useless self berating.
