This is a good interpretation of the challenge but the photo is not inspiring me on the subjective side of the vote...

Nice texture in the fur. Did you use a fill flash?

I really like this photo, the color is perfect for the scene, and the blown out sky works really well, as if the, um, awning? tent? is a gate to a bright white beyond. The complete lack of people adds a bit of desolation to the scene, too... it's unsettling.

I know this is definately a love/hate photo. In answer to some of the comments, the reason I did not have mourners inthe photo is because it then becomes "someone's" funeral. I wanted to convey that this could be "anyone's" funeral. Besides, taking photos of actual mourners goes against my morals. That is too sacred an event to intrude upon.

The reason for the angle is to convey a straight on in your face impact. I had other angles and perspectives but they seemed too soft to me.

Thanks for the comments on the sepia tone and the focus. I wish this were sharper too and that is the one thing I would have changed.

The tone and sombreness of this photo depicts the darkness of the hour very well
