You don’t have to have a funeral in a church.
The church IMHO went overboard to help this family.
When my husband died a few weeks ago, I guess we forgot to discuss his sexual preference. I just assumed that it wasn’t anyone’s business.
Because of Don't Ask, Don't Tell? He told.

Let me point out that it was the church who approached the family, not the other way around. And it was the church who then revoked their invitation, not the other way around. So I don't really consider that helping the family all that much, and I certainly don't blame the family for refusing any offers the church made after they gave them the boot.

And had you been asked to provide pictures of your husband for the service then wouldn't you have given them pictures of him surrounded by his loved ones without giving it any second thought or thinking that you were somehow promoting an agenda? Well that's what this family did, and some of his loved ones turned out to be of the same gender. That doesn't mean they were trying to promote homosexuality or force some agenda on anyone.
By the way, my wife loves your clothes.
