Probably the right call.
Regardless of our intentions or feelings, it is best to remain humble and considerate at any funeral. It's a funeral, not an pre-auction viewing. The family knows why you're there, to grieve and support. As time passes you may find that your friendship and love for the decedent and their family may be rewarded in one way or another, but it's nothing to expect. And many times something as small as a picture of the 2 of you together may mean more than any of the worldly things they possess.
