The funeral of Seamus Wright, one of two of the Disappeared whose remains were found in Co Meath, took place in west Belfast this morning.
His remains and those of Kevin McKee were formally identified last week after they were found in a single shallow grave on reclaimed bogland in June.
Their bodies were found unexpectedly during a search for another of the Disappeared, Joe Lynskey.
Fr Brendan Callanan told mourners at St Agnes' Church in Andersonstown that it "has taken a long time for us to come to this point but we are here."
Mourners heard that Mr Wright, who was married, was a "deeply committed" family man with a "strong religious dimension" to his life.
Fr Callanan said: "He died a young man - just 25 years of age - and the death of a young person seems to hit us harder."
Mr Wright was from Belfast and was working as an asphalt layer when he went missing in October 1972.
Mr McKee's funeral took place yesterday at St Peter's Cathedral in Belfast.
He was also from Belfast, and was 17 when he disappeared in October 1972.
The hunt for the Disappeared has been overseen by the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains (ICLVR), an independent body set up in 1999 after the Good Friday peace agreement to liaise with former paramilitaries to find 16 victims clandestinely buried.
Among the bodies to have been recovered are those of mother of ten Jean McConville, from west Belfast, and Crossmaglen pensioner Charles Armstrong.
Four others - Mr Lynskey, Columba McVeigh, Seamus Ruddy and Captain Robert Nairac - have yet to be found.
