The Family Remembers Grandpa, Explained：one last time
After the funeral, the family gathers and remembers the old man with affection and jokes. "It was good to see him one last time," one says, and when someone calls him popular, the reply is that he also owed half of them money. Grief is carried lightly, in the room's own language.

What's really going on
The scene shows how a family absorbs a loss without naming it directly. Nobody says they are grieving; instead they count who came, and turn the old man into a punchline — "And he owed half of them money" — because affection here is spoken through teasing. The warmest memories slip out sideways too: he helped with maths, he was "a very deep thinker." Only at the end does the feeling surface, in a reading that asks them not to mourn that he is gone but to be grateful he was here. The humour and the tenderness are the same instinct: to keep him present by talking about him the way they always did.
Theme
Death & griefThe family faces a death by remembering, joking and finally reading words of comfort.
MemoryThey keep the old man alive in stories about his debts, his help and his deep thinking.

このシーンについての質問
Why do the family joke about the grandfather owing money?
Because their affection comes out as teasing. Calling him popular and then adding that he owed half of them money keeps him human and stops the mood from turning solemn.
What does the Bible reading add to the scene?
It gives the grief a shape and a permission to speak. The words ask the family to be thankful he was here rather than sorry he is gone.
What does 'a deep thinker' mean as a compliment here?
It's a warm, slightly humorous way of saying he was thoughtful. It echoes the boy's memory of a man who used to help him with his maths.
Why does someone mention heading down to the club?
It's the natural next step after a Belfast funeral: to gather, drink and toast the person who died, which is how the community marks a loss.
