Scattering the ashes of the urne is also a gag in The Big Lebowski. Did the Coen's steal it from Ken? Did Ken steal it somewhere else?
That was the most fun I've ever had without laughing.
Well, Dude, we just don't know.

I absolutely love that scene - was by far the best part of the film. A great, close but argumentative Glaswegian family - fab.
Did anyone else just find Susan annoying?

Yes, I did, but I think Loach wanted us to. She quickly became clingy and needy. On the other hand, it was Stevie who pushed for her to move in. She told him she had "a lot going on at the minute" and that he didn't know her and she suffered from depression.
shareI heard a similar story involving ashes spilled from an urn. One of Sid Caesar's writers and co stars was telling how his father wanted his ashes scattered in the East River in NYC. He said he and his wife went up to a high point in the winter with ice on the ground.
His wife held onto his camelhair coat in case he slipped. When he threw his father's ashes into the wind, it charged direction and blew them back onto him.
He and wife tried to beat them out of his coat.
The interviewer then asked where did you father's ashes finally end up then? The man said mostly in a dry cleaners on the East Side.
I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else
Whilst I hesitate to bundle Loach and Leigh into the same category, I do know that the Coen bros are big fans of Mike Leigh. It seems quite likely that they might have seen Riff Raff.
"Was there an autopsy?"
It's hardly an original idea.
Same thing happened at my granddad's funeral!
