I dont get to understand this "funkei".
Friends of decapitation?
is it an idiomatic expression? maybe old friends?
Thank you very much and sorry for annoy you again.
Did someone actually say this to you? If yes, your friend is the King of Japanese vocabulary. I've only heard/seen it a few times in my rather long life.

刎頚の友 is a literally expression meaning "the best of best friends". It's an "If you die, I'll die" kinda relationship.
