Back at Brian's office, we find Charlie Brown crying over Snow White's apparent death while the studio executive encourages him to continue.
Charlie Brown: (crying bitterly).
Brian: Charlie, get a hold of yourself man.... Weeping towel?
Charlie Brown: Thank you.
He grabs the weeping towel and blows on it and then threw it in the trash can.
Brian: Got it out of your system?
Charlie Brown: Eeyup.
Brian: Well then. What happen next?
Charlie Brown: Oh yes, yes. Ahem, page 65. (as he was reading the script, the office slowly becomes black) The dwarfs mourn for Snow White for three days and three nights. On the third night, with heavy hearts, they must bury their friend. However, so beautiful even in death, the dwarfs couldn't have the heart to bury her in the ground. So they fashioned a casket of diamond glass and carved her name in solid gold and her title that reads "Snow White, Daughter of King Gordon the Great" and decided to give her a proper send off.
(After Charlie Brown read the next scene, Brian's office completely fade to black)
Fade in from black into the story, we see Schroeder playing a gospel tune. Cut to the others surrounding the diamond glass casket, Linus start the funeral service.
Linus: We are gathered together to pay tribute and say goodbye to a very close friend. Perhaps, I could persuade some of you to say a few words. Shermy?
(Shermy stand by the casket and start to say her few kind words)
Shermy: With a heavy heart, I stand before you as we all gather to say our last goodbyes to Snow White. Even though I never knew her all my life but after starting to get to know her, I felt like I didn't lost a friend, I lost a part of me. Farewell, Snow White (sobbing)
Linus: Next, I would like to call on Schroeder.
(Schroeder approach the casket)
Schroeder: Goodbye, Snow White. And thank you for the many great times, we have had together.
Linus: And now a word from Charlie Brown.
(Charlie Brown approach Snow White's casket and was too heartbroken to say anything)
Snoopy: (sniffing) (crying) Awhooo!
Charlie Brown: Waaaahh!
(Snoopy crying)
Linus: Goodbye.
Franklin: Until the next life.
Shermy: (weeping) Goodbye, Snow White. I'm going to miss you.
Outside the cottage, we see Woodstock and his friends also crying for Snow White's apparent death as they pay their final respects for the princess. As the gang sadly carries the casket towards the mountain so everyone can see Snow White's body, Rerun sang a hymn as the others play chorus.
Rerun (singing):
Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long,
While there are others living about us,
Never molested, though in the wrong.
Chorus:
Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.
Rerun:
When death has come and taken our loved ones,
It leaves our home so lonely and drear,
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year.
Chorus:
Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.
Rerun:
Faithful til death, said our loving Master
A few more days to labor and wait,
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing
As we sweet through the beautiful gate.
Chorus:
Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.
Rerun:
When we see Jesus, coming in glory,
When He comes from His home in the sky,
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion,
We'll understand it all by and by.
Chorus:
Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.
The hymn ends as the others tearfully place the casket at the top of the mountain as each of them place flowers around it. Charlie Brown and Rerun lift the lid of the casket and Shermy place flowers in Snow White's hand.
He sadly glances as Snow White for a moment before stepping back and kneel before it with the others.
