People were arrested at public events, not at a "funeral service". It's not permissible to arrest someone on the grounds of "lack of respect" or "making a fool of yourself". Arrests have been made under section 5 of the Public Order Act, which applies to behaviour deemed likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress, or under some other law (I'm unclear which) for behaviour "likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm" [1]. It's heavy-handed nonsense.
