According to The Guardian:
The church posted a Twitter update lamenting its inability to picket the event, which it said was due to a lack of publicity over the location.
Awww...that's a shame: the crazed, rancid bigots couldn't make it.

I cannot, in all honesty and sincerity, think of a higher honor than to be picketed by these people

that these jackwagons made a concerted effort to picket and then failed miserably due to their own incompetence. Gawd is obviously not their travel agent.

this is at least the third funeral i can recall that they threatened but didnt deliver. they had no intention. it costs nothing to threaten.
to do it costs money, and risks getting their asses kicked.
i think they are tired of the tactic, and will continue to threaten, but people shouldnt give them the oxygen.
