Is an empty Casket Funeral for someone who is having a normal funeral in a different country a normal thing or a weird novus ordo ritual?

My novus ordo family shared this with me today:

"Mass for Pope Benedict XIV at Saint John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church- took the picture afterwards.  Priest and Deacon wore black."
This just goes to show that just going to a TLM doesn't give a person any more knowledgeable that someone who goes to a NO Mass. The Church is vast and ancient and many things are traditional that you may not have seen in your little chapel.

John Cardinal O’Connor was dressed in red for his funeral.
