The moving image of smiling Pat Evans, Adrian Evans and Joel Richards, appeared in the order of service as they were laid to rest near their home in West Bromwich.
The trio, all members of the same family killed during the atrocity in Sousse, look happy and relaxed as they set off on their holiday - unaware of the tragedy to come.
Around 400 people are thought to have been invited to the "private celebration" for Joel, 19, uncle Adrian, 49 and grandfather Patrick, 78.
The town came to a standstill as the funeral cortege passed through, it is reported.
The order of service reads: "The family would like to thank everyone for their attendance here today and for the kind messages of sympathy and support at this sad time."
'Amazing Grace' was set to be sung by a family friend, while 'If I Die Young' is listed as the exit musc.
The service was being taken by Monsignor Bruce Herbert, report the Birmingham Mail.
He added: "'We ask - why them? Why were they in the wrong place at the wrong time?'
"These are questions we will never be able to answer.
"We struggle to understand why this could happen at a time when you are away, spending time with your family, relaxing."
Joel, a Warwick University student, and his uncle Adrian were keen supporters of Walsall Football Club.
