It is established that there is an encouragement for praying in the first row, and for attending the funeral prayer and burial. It is better for someone who wants to combine both virtues to strive for the first row, because there might not be a funeral after the prayer. If there is one, he would attain the virtue of the first row and the funeral prayer, or he would attend the burial, the reward of which is equivalent to attending the prayer.
