Enjoy

After watching the last episode, I can see why it is so highly referred and praised. What made this such a great show was not the fact that it was about death and living in a funeral home, but how it was about life and the lives of the people living in that funeral home. The character's are extremely believable and compelling, the situations that they're put through are moving and the way they chose to end this series was beautiful. It is truly within the last 5-6 minutes that everything comes to fruition. Life moves on before Everything Comes To an End. To me, this is why it's such a excellent series.

One more thing...If you are in no way moved by the last bit of this series after watching it as a whole, then there's something wrong with you. Enjoy
