Jack "died". Everyone else was dead already. They were all waiting for him before moving on. IMO, that says that it was all about Jack and all in Jack's flash.
Otherwise, why in the hell would all of those people hang around waiting for Jack? It just doesn't make sense and quite honestly, there's way too much that doesn't make sense (at least to me) on a literal level.

Sure. I can understand that.
But, I don't think it was
anyone's funeral. Not Christian's. Not Jack's. Not anyone's. The church (which happened to be the same church that housed The Lamp Post Station) was just a meating place.
And they were all already dead. Jack included. He died long ago. The others were just waiting for Jack to "wake up" to the reality of the situation. That's why they were all hanging around waiting for him. They weren't waiting for him to "die" or arrive or anything like that. They were waiting for him to realize the truth.
To let go. They were waiting because they couldn't move on without him. He was the last piece.
In a large way the show was about Jack. It was his quest. He was Luke Skywalker. He was Oddessyus. He was The Hero With A Thousand Faces. Absolutley, yes. I agree with that. But he needed the rest of them too. And they needed him. I, personally, don't like to trivialize the rest of the group. They were all there for a reason.
