The funeral was planned as soon as Ford left office. All presidential funerals are full of this kind of pomp and circumstance. I don't think this is a diversion to keep people's attention away from other big stories at all.
Having said that, I agree it is unfortunate that so many big stories have hit the back burner because of the timing of President Ford's death. Hopefully, a few of them will be front page news now that it is over.
