It probably comes from the latin funeris which means funeral and has nothing to do with fun at all

It is derived from the latin word "funus" - meaning death rites.
The modern English word comes from the medieval french word "funerailles"

The same reason the word "ballet" starts with "ball".
Hope this helps,
