Quote from Emily in The Reigning Lorelai
Emily: Did I tell you about the burial-slash-cremation clause? Lorelai: Now you're just making stuff up. Emily: Your grandmother is to have an open-casket ceremony, displayed in all her glory, then is to be cremated and have her ashes divided in two - half to be buried with her husband in the family crypt, and the other half to be put in an urn and placed on our mantelpiece. Lorelai: Half of Gran is going to be on your mantel forever. Emily: Staring at me, judging me, disapproving of me. Lorelai: So apparently, it's the top half. Emily: When I first found out, I almost had a coronary, but I've accepted it. From now on, it's going to be a 3-person household. Your father, me, and her urn.
