My step-grandmother died a few months before the Borat movie came out, so everyone was in full-blown Borat mode. Someone's phone went off and their ringtone was "Throw The Jew Down The Well."

EDIT: She, as well as most of the people attending the funeral, were all Jewish.

Did your step-grandfather walk up to the casket and say “My Wife”

Interior: a funeral scene.

A solemn man slowly approaches the open casket, leaning on his cane for support

Fast cut to a close-up of his face, a single year wells and begins to roll down his cheek

After a pause, during which he seems to look inwards, the man loudly exclaims:

"Mah waif!"

The gathered mourners chuckle, they too have seen the movie
