Quote from Emily in Written in the Stars
Rory: Well, this is a surprise. Emily: Well, I simply had to get out of the house and your mother told me you were home, so I thought I'd come by and say hello. Why are there pictures of Asher Fleming everywhere? Rory: This is a wake for Professor Fleming. He died. Emily: Well, you'd think your grandfather could have mentioned that to me, but no. I bet he'll make me go to that insufferable man's funeral, though. Rory: He was cremated. Emily: Oh, thank God.
