== Synopsis ==
{{desc|When [[Larry|someone]] in [[Homer]]'s life passes away, he and guys from Moe's go on a road trip to scatter the ashes... but will their friendship die as well?}}
==Plot==
At [[Moe's Tavern]], [[Homer]], [[Lenny]] and [[Carl]] are watching the {{W|National Football League|NFL}} while drinking beer. They have bet on the matches and convince [[Moe]] to try betting, which agrees after some resistance. When he loses the bet he pushes everyone out of the tavern, but when he tries to push out [[Larry]], they find out he's dead.

At the [[Mourning Glory Funeral Home]], a funeral is held in his honor. [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]], bored already, visit other funerals. Back at Larry's funeral, [[Reverend Lovejoy]] arrives and thinks that it's Homer's funeral, starting to say some words for him, but [[Helen Feesh|Helen]] corrects him, and he calls Larry's mother, [[Iris Dalrymple]], which calls forth his friends to talk about him.

But they don't know him at all and invent some story about fishing with him. When Marge calls them out they tell her that at least they come to the funeral, which [[Barney]] didn't even do, being a selfish jerk. Barney is then seen in a village helping them creating a clean water well.

After the funeral, Marge continues to point out on how disappointed she is with them, and Iris arrives giving them Larry's diary, where there's a drawing of all 5 of them in front of [[Serenity Falls]], so they decide to take his ashes there. At [[Acceptable 8]], they spend the night after an argument of where the soul goes after death.

The next morning Homer goes to the bathroom but knocks the urn down, revealing sapphires hidden within the ashes, which Moe identify, and want to keep secret from the other two. The get back on the road and Lenny and Carl fight over [[Naima]] dating [[Kool & the Gang|Kool]] and ride dangerously offroad, almost knocking the urn down. But when Lenny pushes the pedal too strong, the back of the truck opens up, rolling the urn down the road.

The four argue over the deal before the sheriff calls them out for jewel smuggling and throws them in his car's frunk, where they argue over their lies, thinking that when they're sober they're not a group anymore, but then find out that the sheriff is [[Mickey No-Loose-Ends]], working for [[Fat Tony]] to recover the ashes with the sapphires, and he orders him to let them go, however true to his name he understands he has to cut the loose ends.

Fearing death, Homer finds a flare gun and tries to shoot Mickey when he opens the frunk, but misses and pushes the car down a ravine, barely stopping before falling down, however they all jump out of the car at the same time, except Homer which counts wrong and falls down. Mickey gets knocked down and lets the urn go down the ravine to where Homer is, stopping the car safely, saving him.

The drive brought them together at Serenity Falls, but they soon realize where Larry wanted to be together with them, under a video of falls at at Moe's Tavern. In the end, the sapphires from the urn were lost, but Moe reveals that he ingested them and they're in his stomach.
