Best funeral scene? [Possible spoilers, click at your own risk]

While watching a film or series you absolutely love, the only thing that can stab you in the heart harder than seeing your favourite character die, is the funeral. I've seen a lot of them; good ones, bad ones, scenes that caused me to secrete a fluid from my eyes.

My all-time favourite will be Stargate Atlantis' S3E17 "Sunday". If you haven't seen it yet, why are you even here? Go watch the series!

If you have, it must have made a permanent memory, but here's a recollection in case you forgot. Oh yeah, spoilers.

An Ancient device is activated, which triggers the growth of highly explosive tumors in human bodies. After removing one such growth, Carson is on his way to put it in a safe container. He makes the drop, but mere seconds before containment, the unstable gases ignite inside the tumor, causing an explosion and killing the surgeon. After Weir's speech at the memorial service, his body is sent back to Earth. A Scottish bagpiper provides music as the gate slowly dials out. Sheppard, McKay, Ronon, and three other members then proceed to carry his casket through the event horizon.

Later at sunset, as Rodney is standing at the edge of Atlantis, a vision of Carson appears, and they have the chance to say their last goodbyes.

Here, watch it yourself.

What was the best funeral scene you have ever seen? Has any of them left you in tears, completely devastated?
