Anecdotes
Hylda Baker sings the theme: the lyrics had been added to Derek Hilton's original instrumental for her 1969 Columbia Records disc "Nearest and Dearest" (DB 8644), though the film uses a different version.

[the Pledges survey their parents' grave]
Nellie Pledge: There's room for us two in there, y'know. Are you coming in?
Eli Pledge: I'm not going down there. When I die I'm donating my body to medical science.
Nellie Pledge: Oh, that's very nice, isn't it? And what about on the day of adjudication when Gabriel sounds his horn - where will you be, eh? Scattered all over the infirmary in jam-jars. You'll be better off in there with us.
Eli Pledge: [Eli sees Lily and Walter approaching] Hello, here they are - Burke and Hare.
Nellie Pledge: Oh, you got here at last then, our Lily? You've only just missed him.
[She regards Walter]
Nellie Pledge: Oh - has he been?
[Walter looks puzzled]
Nellie Pledge: I think he's been.
Lily Tattersall: Took him a right long time to find it.
Eli Pledge: I'll bet it did.
Nellie Pledge: I suppose you'd like to throw some soil at him, would you Walter?
[Walter nods]
Nellie Pledge: Alright then.
[Walter grabs a handful of soil and throws it in Eli's face]
Eli Pledge: Not me, cloghead!
[Points into grave]
Eli Pledge: Him!
Lily Tattersall: He's been right looking forward to coming here today.
Nellie Pledge: Yeah well, it'll be nice day out for him, won't it?
Eli Pledge: By t'look of him, it's hardly worthwhile him going home.

Relax it's supposed to be farcical

The other reviewers here seem to have missed the point. Nearest and Dearest ran for 7 series based almost entirely on Hilda Bakers eccentric and malapropism prone Nellie. The jokes were meant to crude northern humour and not some high brow Woody Allen type comedy. Yes it has dated badly and Jimmy Jewel was no Laurence Olivier but every time I watch this movie I chuckle frequently at the ridiculousness of the content and Hylda Bakers classic character. Maybe it's because I was born in the north west in the 70's but I find this movie an amusing diversion from every day life. Oh yes it's quite funny in parts too!
