If large numbers of people congregated in a building for a funeral, that was irresponsible.
I would have thought that the virus, if present, would be widely spread around the interiors of everything that the thousands touched and shared with the whole town population who in turn would have been very present on the beach and using the facilities. A virus doesn't distinguish between day trippers and locals, there would have been a huge spreadaround and remnants left in the locality as well as it taken back with them.

Agreed on the irresponsibility of the funeral organisers though.
