There is a phenomenon that annoying me here in Israel regarding to funerals, in which for every deceased person because of murdering, terrorism, or other reasons that leaking into the Israeli media (Usually it is an anonymous/unknown or very little know persons), immediately hundreds or thousands of people from the general public, which all of them don't know the deceased person, and aren't relatives or friends of the deceased person, arrives to the funerals to last respect, and the deceased person usually buried in a graveyard for V.I.P, celebrities, politicians and rabbis like Har HaMenuchot in Jerusalem, and the funerals receives massive media attentions.
In additional, applause and standing ovation became de facto in funerals and in grief in general here in Israel in the recent years.
Are there other countries where the public and the media penetrating such to the privacy and the anonymous of anonymous/unfamous deceased persons and their families?

Here in the US there are 2 occasions within the past few months I can recall where something like this happened. Both were military veterans who died and had no known family. It was passed around on social media, and when the funerals actually happened thousands of people showed up.

If the person had no family its understandable, if they do have family and. Thousands of people come crowding them in.. That's a different story.

This is happening here as well. During 2014 Operation Protective Edge, there were several several funerals of fallen soldiers with no known family, in which as a result of a calling from the social networking, ten of thousands of people, crowded in the funeral.
