Rico's eulogy, while short, was very heart wrenching. If you remember earlier in the series when Rico became a partner and started doing intakes, he wasn't empathetic enough cause he was used to the embalming part of the business where he said himself works for him because the dead don't speak. However, deep down he envied Nate's ability to connect with ppl in their darkest moments & admitted it actually inspired him. That hit me hard because they would see each other everyday & Rico never got the chance to tell Nate that himself.

The exchange between David and Claire at the beginning is a breathtakingly perfect representation of sibling dynamics, no matter what the circumstances, your sibling can still just annoy you in that unique way.

3:35 I just adore George because he always has a way of saying the right thing when it's most needed. Credit to Mr. James Cromwell for bringing to life such an intelligent, sweet, and humanly flawed character.

Anyone here after Succession 4x09??? That episode really reminded me of Six Feet Under

This was Rico’s best moment

I bawled my head off when Nate died and up until the end of the final episode. SFU was and is an awesome show. The chemistry between the actors is real. I am binge-watching it again.

Oh gosh, Nate's passing was awful but David's PTSD was so haunting and terrifying.

This is the part that had me sobbing like a baby. Rico's eulogy was so sad, and George's eulogy was such a kind and genuine to say about Nate. I loved this series so much.

That little convo at the beginning is so powerful. When my father died I didn't even know if I would make it to the funeral, I just couldn't face it. I ended up turning up in normal clothes and carried him whilst everyone else was dressed nicely. I knew i couldn't live with myself if I decided not to turn up or carry him into the church but getting dressed just wasn't in the books...it wasn't a priority, just being there was hard enough. Thankfully nobody made a comment about it as I'm sure they understood, but I could see myself reacting exactly like Claire here, just completely drained, don't care about winning, have everything you desire because every fuck I have in my body is being utilised to just being here. Editing this. My brother took his life 2 weeks after I posted this. It hits twice as hard now. I didn't even turn up. I don't regret it. I was simply unable. The rest of you win.

I like how the flower arrangements are wild and free, unlike at the beginning of the show.

In all it's vexing, beautiful forms. I love that line.

Most beautiful show ever created

Tears, every time. Ever since 2005, I think of Nate every time I hear “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”. Greatest show ever 😥

I always cry during this scene but Brenda's mom makes me stop to chuckle for a second lol. Classic narcissist!!

I use variations of Lauren's comment "the rest of you win" whenever I'm sick of someone arguing uselessly.

I'm a grown ass man and I cried at the end of this show

I watched this episode in a highrise apartment block in South Korea in 2006. I had illegally downloaded it. Or maybe I had bought a pirate dvd from the electronics market at Yongsan. I can't remember. I do remember that I watched the episode in tears from beginning to end. I had to stop it multiple times (3?) because I was crying too much to watch. This scene was the worst. George's intervention. I had responded so much to this show as I watched it over 5 months during the year I spent living in South Korea. Its human wisdom, its humour, its lightness of touch. I don't always respond to shows like this. I was reading Anna Karenina that same year I lived out there and in truth I loved that book but never could find one thing it did that made it more of an artistic achievement than Six Feet Under. Still one of the great shows tv has ever made.

This scene is pure emotional power.

George's speech was fantastic.

When television becomes an artfom

Loved Nate's character the best He was so natural as a person The mistakes that he made the friendships and relationships I love the mums sister she was always a blast The character who plays her always brings alot to the character

The rest of you win!

Wow. Just rewatched after it 1st came out. So sad. Great show. Nate was a flawed character like all of us but meant the best

What is with James Cromwell killing funeral speeches at the ends of HBO series?

I really disliked George initially because of how many times it seemed like he wasn't really taking his life with the Fisher's seriously. In season 4 they go to great lengths to potray George as someone who sets up shop with new family members, and the second things get a little difficult he packs it all up and starts over somewhere else. He was particularly unlikable to me because how much we saw Ruth struggle to find a new partner after her Nathaniel died, and to see her marry George to cope with Lisa's death felt so gross. The "pep talk" he gives to Nate felt like George just paying his due lip service and that he wasn't attached to Ruth or her kids. Once the show started tackling his mental issues, it began to feel like he wasn't even lucid anymore. Then Nate dies. Immediately without even thinking about it George springs into action to help the Fisher's through this awful time in their lives. Shockingly to me he gives the most accurate and resonate speech about Nate's life at the funeral, completely confidently without wavering like David and Rico. "Nate was my Stepson." George did love him. Back when Lisa died George's speech to Nate was 100% ernest. The man seriously was planning on raising Maya. If the ending flash-forwards are canon, George stayed with Ruth for twenty more years. I realized that it's not like George doesn't care about his wives, or children, he cares very deeply. He unfortunately had to experience such a confusing loss at such a young age. Leaving everything behind his the only way he knew how to survive. I think the reason he knew Nate so well was because he has the same exact pathos. Nate's always running away. When the situation called for it, George completely conquered his fear of commitment and worked through the hardships of his mental illness to help his family, something that is nearly impossible for most people, especially in that stage of their lives. He learned the lesson from Nate's life, how that giving up and starting over, over and over, leads to nothing but pain, and successfully applied what he learned to his own family. After finishing the series recently, I gotta say one of my favorite character progressions has got to be George.

I think it's the best episode of all times, such an amazing acting, editing, writing, directing, I had finished this one from 2 years, and never felt like that neeever

My mother God rest her soul turned me on to this show it became our show this reminds me so much of her very hard to hold the tears back

Rico's eulogy was so heartfelt

We have the whole series on DVD and have watched it at least five times through. Best show ever.

Nate the greatest character on television ....ever ....period...

I feel bad for David. He always had to be the strong one. I remember when he flipped out and said “I LOST HIM TOO!” He couldn’t take it anymore.

Goddamn this show! It’s way too close to life. The emotions, personalities and situations are all so real.

When I started watching SFU I was constantly listening to KOHD by Bob Dylan and I’m still overwhelmed by the fact that they played it at my favorite character’s funeral 🥺🥺🥺

This is Soooooooooo hard to watch still to this day. I severely felt so bad for Brenda

Patricia Clarkson as Ruth's sister, if anybody hasn't saw it I'd check out HBOs adaptation of Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects where Clarkson plays the mother Adora. She plays a very good frosty southern Belle I have to say.

George's speech summoned Ruth to accept him again. Nate Sr, Nate Jr and Claire are all heartbreaking Egomaniac s who"needing perfect normal significant others to play off of" David and Ruth are the same as in they both need a strong man in their life"

I clicked on this and nope....still not ready to watch it after all these years. It is the only episode I have never s÷n.

George’s eulogy. 💙

I just saw this scene and the burial today and was crying like a baby. I can't understand why I cried so much.

I cried for a week after this episode

I cried the whole episode, and still crying everytime I see it

I wish I found out about this series before my mom died. She would have loved it

George I love you so much

Saddest scene in the show. Gets me every time

I love Claire

Death is so sad it's beautiful

Alguien sabe dónde puedo ver esta escena en Español Latino?

Ascolta anche… LECTURES 2020: "Six Feet Under, lo straordinario dell'ordinario" (CIV.CATT)

Nate didn't die. He changed his name to Adam, married a woman named Christine, and had an autistic son named Max

Brendas mom

Muy parecida a la muerte de Federico.

What is it with the red hooded figure? Is it David's hallucinations?

Rayos X con rayito?

Well the rest of you win

.

Lalo garza.

Funerals are stupid. Bunch of people trying to out-mourn each other.

This show could be so dramatic and I think Brenda's character was horrible... but overall it was a good show.

I understand that James Cromwell glued his hand to Nate's picture and demanded Starbucks lower its prices.
