However, give the date of the photo and the rumored date of Bin Laden's death, the funeral was prior to Bin Laden supposedly dying.

The photo is undated. How do you/we know the actual date this photo was taken on? From the AP story:

The decision came to light after an NBC News correspondent's blog carried a photograph of the insurgents. Defense department officials first tried to block further publication of the photo, then struggled to explain what it depicted.

This photo may or may not be relevant -- we just don't know enough at this point to rule it out.
