Well....you are right.
Sorry.
All I kept hearing was that there would be a short ceremony following the procession. I did not realize it was a funeral, but it is called the "state funeral ceremony."
It does seem to be of significantly less importance than Friday's actual national funeral service, however.

Don't want to be picky...today's event was the National/State Funeral. Friday, in DC at National Cathedral, will be the National Memorial Service, and in California, later Friday, will be the Internment Services.
