Does the funeral prayer resemble the obligatory prayer in completing the rows and catching the opening takbir?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is the funeral prayer like the obligatory prayer in the matter of completing the rows and paying attention to the opening takbir?

Answer:
Yes, catching it from the beginning is better, without a doubt. Also, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged having many rows, so praying over the deceased in two rows, three rows, or four rows is better. Even if the rows are not long, even if they are not long, there is no harm, for the sake of increasing the number of rows. Yes.
