The day of the funeral came. And they all went. Many of their colleagues came as well. For the most part, they dressed in black, but some of them didn't. They didn't think that it was what one of the three dead would have wanted. Flowers lined the room, and there were picture memorials to each of them. During the viewing, before the funeral, Catherine and Grissom's mother stood by Grissom's head, Greg and Nick stood by Sara's head, and Ecklie stood by Sophia's head. They chose Ecklie, because none of the rest of them knew Sophia, and she had killed Sara, but they didn't want her body to be unaccompanied. Each of them tried their best to not cry, as they told the sympathizers about each of their friends.

During the service, each of them spoke about their three friends, in the best way possible. They never told the assembled people, about the circumstances surrounding their deaths, although some of them had found out through gossip. Even Conrad Ecklie spoke kindly of the three.

Then they all accompanied them to the gravesite. They all cried there, and they put flowers on the three caskets, as they were lowered into the ground.

Within the next week, Nick, Greg, Warrick, Catherine, David, Brass, and Dr. Robbins had all given two weeks notice that they were quitting. The day they all left, they all went to dinner together. A toast was given.

'To the best group of friends there ever was. Now we are all going our own ways. We will never forget the time we've spent together. And forever we'll be friends. To the future, in remembrance of the past.'

They were all in tears as they made the toast.
