So do i, it is IMO much more respectful. The only reason they tend to go with the noise/applause is to placate the airheads who enjoy spoiling the silence, though it has to be said this is rugby not football and by and large the silence is usually impeccable.
But like you said if its the family wishes then thats all that matters really.
