Two come to mind- they being Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher, both of whom had funerals well after having served in office.
Well yes: I already mentioned elected political leaders among the three main categories of persons who receive state funerals (the others being royal sovereigns and military heroes). This category would include presidents of republics (e.g. Lincoln and Kennedy of the US; Charles de Gaulle of France; Anwar el Sadat of Egypt). But it would probably be too large to list in its entirety. That was why I brought up other categories.
