Attending a funeral: one qirat and two

شهود الجنازة: قيراط وقيراطان

Whoever attends a funeral until the prayer is said over it has one qirat, and whoever stays until the burial has two; asked about the two qirats, the answer was: like two great mountains, in Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him)'s narration Sahih al-Bukhari 1325 — the qirat of reward Muslim 945 — A qirat or two for attending the funeral. The qirat here is a measure of reward, not a number of good deeds, so the calculator shows it as a written result and does not turn it into a figure.
