Majority, but only because in this particular case the protesters were a reasonable distance from the funeral.

I usually side with First Amendment advocates on most issues, but I do believe that someone's rights to free speech ends at the point that it infringes on some else's fundamental rights.  The family of a slain soldier - or anyone for that matter - should have a reasonable expectation that their private burial service would not be disrupted by a protest that is audible or exceedingly visible at the location of the service.
