Funeral equali were not processional pieces. They were performed at the church and at the grave side. At Beethoven's funeral, they were performed processionally too but that was a deviation from Linz tradition.

I believe the Beethoven equali were performed at the funeral of the 19th century British Prime Minister William Gladstone in 1898. Whether this was at Westminster abbey (where he is buried) or as a processional I'm not sure.
