Does any one know if a deceased member of the GB get the same lame funeral talk as a R&F?

Course not!
The GB who died is at the funeral, and he won't permit just a regular service. After all, ONE of ONLY 8000 people on the earth, Jesus blood covers him. He will personally make sure he gets preached to heaven and transferred in the "twinkling of an eye".

Hmmm, good question, and something I never really thought about.
But off hand, I would have to say, no, the talks would not be the same.
The talks given for the R&F would be centered around an anticipated recreation to be performed at some unspecified time in the future. Till then the person has dissolved into nothingness
Since 1878, [Oops, that's old truth, I mean] 1918 however, the "anointed" don't eperience such an indignity they have been experiencing an instantaneous resurrection. So the talks will need to be adjusted.
So, I would have to say, No they will not be the same

I went to one funeral of a (so-called) anointed sister and the speaker welcomed her (invisibly) to the gathering!!!

This question was answered recently when GB member Lloyd Barry died. Here is the thread:
