Yes, I'm a licensed funeral director/embalmer, owning 3 funeral homes, and I must state that this show was, unequivocably for me at least, the best thing HBO has ever done.

For those wondering, some things on the show were VERY true to life, while others were a little more far-fetched, but it was a breath of fresh air from a network that has been hitting home runs in the cable series genre over the past 10 years or so.

Like many on here, I found the ending wonderfully perfect for the show, and I must admit that I cried almost hysterically (remember, this show has a little "more" for me than most) during the final 3-5 minutes. A truly masterful job of writing, directing, and acting in that small amount of time.

All in all, 6FU was a godsend for my line of work, as it made people ask more questions and get a bit more educated about the funeral industry in a way that only mainstream exposure can.

I remember thinking the first 15 minutes of the Season 3 opener was incredible, only to be surpassed by the episode where we have Nate's funeral (superb acting by both Michael C. Hall and Frances Conroy, both well deserving of Emmy awards, IMO) and now, to me, that was surpassed by just a little over 3 minutes of television in the series finale.

Kudos to HBO, Alan Ball, the cast and crew for what was, to me, the best of any series I have ever seen offered.
