Skitzo, remember that the Soul Society is in the middle of a huge crisis, they may not be able to hold a funeral, and I think they have more important things to do. And they may simply not have the time to have a funeral. But I still think Kubo should tell us if he's dead or not soon, and personally I hope he's alive.
