Top rated lines from this movie

However, look, we can offer you a special new service, whereby the remains are placed inside a rocket, and fired into space.

Above the love of the flesh, dear brethren, there is a higher love, a purer love, a Fuller love, a love which can only be described as true love.

The grave's a fine and private place... But none, I think... Do there embrace.

As there are many people of delicate sensibilities, with a natural reluctance to expose their loved ones to anything savoring of immodesty, I've been considering the advantages of training a female embalmer.

There's got to be a way to get those stiffs off my property.
