He died in the tragedy of Titanic and his body was not found. But the of funeral rite was conducted anyway. I prefer this because "ritual" is the prescribed procedure for a rite.

ritual of funeral was conducted. A "ritual" is an act. A "rite" are the words that may attend an act. The words that are said during the funeral would be the funeral "rite."
