Carl Barks picked out this painting to hang over the coffin. It is Uncle Scrooge and his money in 'Till Death Do Us Part'.

Barks had prepared well for his demise. Arrangements had been made - and paid for - at one of the finest restaurants. He had reckoned that some of the mourners would have come a long way and might be hungry. He made sure that everyone who attended had a hearty meal and an opportunity to renew acquaintances.
