There was probably something done but just wasn't shown. It's not like Hiruzen's death. The fact of the matter is, despite being a powerful ninja and one of the Sannin, Jiraiya meant very little to most people outside of a small, close-nit circle. He traveled the world and got into a lot of crazy antics and probably formed some bonds along the way, but the only people he really had an impact on were the ame orphans (who tried to kill him) Minato, Tsunade and Naruto. Someone like Hiruzen meant a lot to the whole village because for most people he was more than just 'a great ninja', he was a symbol that embodied the leaf's ideals and made himself emblematic of its' people. Jiraiya obviously believed in the leaf's ideals but that status is not even something he wanted and I think Naruto and Tsunade understood that, so they werent about give him some elaborate funeral.
