Can I travel to the US on a F1 visa to attend a funeral?

ESTA is needed.

In order to prevent F1 visa usage for reasons unrelated to the study, F1 visa must be accompanied by a proper visa document (I-20) and valid, current SEVIS record (created by your school designated official, maintained by the CBP/ICE). Since you have graduated, your I-20 is invalid, and your electronic record in SEVIS has been terminated.

Yes, you need the ESTA.

Traveling for a funeral is not a valid purpose for an F1 student visa.
