Yes, good spot - you'd think one of the 6, with their apparent celeb status, would merit more than a tiny newspaper clipping and a press-free viewing instead of a funeral. It's difficult to imagine who, out of the non-815 set, would want to leave the island though. Well, Desmond and Juliet clearly would, and Desmond could do so unproblematically (from an explanation point of view) because he simply got lost on his boat. But Juliet and anyone else affiliated with the Others would surely have to come up with some kind of a story, and perhaps that's connected with the 'secrets' that the 6 seem to be keeping.
(Re Firebreatingfishies' comment - I doubt anyone who wasn't on the 'plane could get away with pretending they were: there'll be records that make clear who was really on it.)
