I was struck by the idea when I went to Alcatraz. Some of the inmates could see San Fran bay and the boat club. On new year they would have a party with fireworks and the inmates would be left with only their regrets looking out onto one of the biggest parties of the year.

Definitely an option; again it plays on this idea of making the ordinary extraordinary.
My idea behind a multi-faith funeral chapel is more to have it as a centre for the celebration of life/death. It would include areas for people of all faith (or not as it may be) to perform their rituals, this is reflected in the architecture.
Edit -
this funeral chapel is awesome-o.
