Welome to Steemit poetry! Great start here.
I especially like seeing the phrase "no funeral" by itself in a single line - eerie and quiet in a manner consistent with the mood.
I wonder how the poem changes if you were to take out "away" in the second line? Sounds cleaner, and opens up the range of possible meanings in the proceeding lines. Language has passed... tense? by? through?
