In "NewsRadio" the staff attended a funeral for an office rat who died. Bill McNeal gave the eulogy. Of course, it turned out that many more rats were in the office, so the staff had to have another funeral for all the rest.

In "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" a co-worker died and Andy and the gang attended his funeral. Jessica was convinced that she killed the man by yelling at him, just before he died. "My friend is dead! My best friend, Charlie, what's his name, is dead."

That would have been Aunt Rose, the first cousin of Grandpa Arnold (Jack's father).

NewsRadio: In the episode "Copy Machine," an employee of the station committed suicide at the station by using a copy machine. Dave feels guilty that no one really noticed him & gives a eulogy to Ted at his funeral, when the camera zooms out and it is revealed that the audience is filled with KuKluxKlan members.
