Hi,
Because Rosh Chodesh is a day of celebration, funerals held that day are altered to remove the strongest elements of mourning. Specifically: tearful eulogies are removed, as well as the tzidduk hadin [acceptance of Divine judgment] normally recited before kaddish at the graveside.
(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 420:2; Mishneh Berurah 420:2)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
