Verbal adjectives

1. Is this an appropriate adjective to use in this context:


"To my surprise, they weren't too MOVED at the funeral of their family member."



2. And how about:


"To my surprise, they weren't too TOUCHED at the funeral of their family member."




Note: By 'moved' or 'touched', I'm trying to say that they weren't too sad or even tearful.
