Agree that Clark would have loved to have Lois there with him, but how might it have looked to Mayson's family? In reality, Clark has chosen Lois over Mayson. I wanted him to know that they didn't hold him responsible for what happened, but he didn't know that before going to the funeral.
To get technical, Mayson chose Clark. Clark was never all that interested in her, as anything more than a friend. Also, Lois just saved Clark's bacon AND found Mayson's real killer. Plus, she was also a professional aquiantance of Mayson's, if not an actual friend. So I would think her not going to the funeral might look worse than her showing up. I would think the family would want to thanks Lois for making sure the right person went to prison for killing Mayson.
