Not a problem! So....is it YOU, that wishes to be IN the costume? If that is not a deal breaker. There is an organization called The 501st which is a world-wide charity organization that goes out to public and private events where there is a Star Wars presence needed. The 501st is mostly comprised of the Villain's where the Rebel Legion (Which is another Star Wars Charity organization) which would be comprised of the Heroes. I myself think of it the way Anakin thinks of it....

It looks like there is a 501st detachment out of the South African area - It looks like they call themselves "The South African Outpost". I'm not entirely sure if they attend funerals. But if you don't care whether or not you're in the costume, this may be something to look into. I know they attend weddings, major baseball games here in the US, go to Children's Hospitals, etc. They also adhere to some pretty strict movie quality standards. They also don't charge for appearances. This is what's in the FAQ on the 501st's website....
