There is absolutely nothing wrong with not crying at funerals, people are different. Your counsellor was right when he or she told you that people grief differently. I also do not cry in funerals but I have yet to experience the death of a close loved one like my mother, sibling or child to see if I really don't cry. Once I cried at my cousin's funeral until I passed out but she was a distant counsin and I was still younger. As I grow older I understand death a bit more and fear it less and believe that at death we should celebrate the life lived as you mentioned it as well.
