Can you think of episodes in which characters attend a funeral?

Here's one to start you off:

Mary Richards: "Chuckles Bites The Dust"

Adamantium · 04-23-2003, 11:06 PM

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."

On Family Ties, the Keatons attended the funeral of Alex's friend who was killed in a car accident. Another time, it was the funeral of an aunt.

I'm pretty sure it was at a funeral reception on Seinfeld that George 'double-dipped'.

On Coach, Hayden held a funeral in his cabin for one of the caretakers of the Screaming Eagle's football field.

On Cheers, Carla was at her husband Eddie's funeral when his other wife showed up.

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.
