Dave, I have several sources that are interviews with various people. For personal knowledge I just interview myself and put "Personal Knowledge" in the Comments section of the source, date the source and add any further info. For you, you can put "Attended Funeral" Many funerals also have Service Pamplets, similar to those given at Church Services. I try to get one whenever I attend a funeral for family or friends. Perhaps the family of the deceased will let you copy the Attendance Roster many sign at funerals, though I would ask at a date sometime after the funeral.
However, all my family on both sides know me as a family historian and I often get more than one copy of the items I mentioned without even asking.

Let's say my wife attends a funeral of a relative. How do I approach this as a source? We know the facts are true, ie the coffin is on display, a large gathering of family members are present, yet the paper trail is thin. To my thinking, the Surety levels must be high for this event. I was hopinmg for a Personal knowledge type source that hopefully would be a catch-all for this sort of thing. Oh sure there may be newspaper death and/or funeral notices to support this, but let's say there isn't! Any ideas anybody?
