Well most cemeteries are private property, so no one can literally protest at the grave site. They are usually limited to protesting just outside (or across the street) from the graveyard.

and yes, I'd be pissed at them for disrupting a private ceremony, but my personal anger about it doesn't trump their constitutional right to be assholes
