1989. It was narrated that Talhah bin 'Abdullâh bin 'Awf said: "I offered the funeral prayer behind Ibn 'Abbâs. He recited Fâtihat Al-Kitâb and a Sûrah, which he recited loudly, such that we could hear him. When he finished I took him by the hand and asked him. He said: '(It is) Sunnah and the truth.'" (Sahîh)
1987 - أَخْبَرَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ، فَقَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ، وَسُورَةٍ وَجَهَرَ حَتَّى أَسْمَعَنَا، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ أَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ: «سُنَّةٌ وَحَقٌّ»

This corroborates that even in the funeral service, recitation (of the Qur'an) is essential.
