After many years of loyal service beyond the call, he dies all alone and withered in the snow. The last thing he sees is the fiery inferno of his home. Thank goodness this is not canon. Alfred deserves a much better send off that this.

Life isn't always a fairy-tale, especially in a place called Gotham City.
He died from a stroke, which is pretty much painless and quick as it is.
This might not be canon to you, but it is to me.
I can do this all night

I totally agree!
I was hoping his death would be fake like Bruce's, but at his age... unlikely.
Well, really, we don't know if Alfred is REALLY dead. It's the comics you know.
I agree. I would rather Alfred have a better send off. But he was WAAAAYYY more than a "servant". In fact, that may be an insult to his character. Bruce became far more greater than he likely would have been if his parents had been around. Alfred got to see that. He lived with the man that was Batman. A lifetime of that speaks for itself.
(Not to belittle the death of one's parents. No disrespect intended.)
Well, if it makes you f guys feel any better, this story really isn't a part of any series in the comics. Frank Miller made this book in the 90s. It was more of a "what if" story. The end you see in the part 2 movie is exactly how the book ended. Nothing continues after it. So really, it is actually separate from the official Batman timeline.
shareI can't remember if it's in the film, but in the graphic novel he says something like "How absolutely proper" as the house explodes, so it was a fitting end from his point of view.
