This time Jeffrey’s funeral is shown in the final episode of ‘Over My Corpse’. He died last year on November 13 from colon cancer and is survived by his wife Trudy and their two children Max and Merel. This last fact in particular hits the viewers hard: they cannot keep dry when they see his wife and children walking in front of the hearse.

“You fought like a bear”

That Jeffrey is very loved is evident from the endlessly long funeral procession on the day of his funeral. Trudy and Max and Merel walk in front of the hearse while a lot of fireworks are shot into the air. Jeffrey was very popular as head coach of the Asperen football club. His friends, family and fellow villagers pay him their last respect.

The characteristic coffin, which was decorated by his children in an earlier episode, is now also carried in by his children and family. With Merel in her arms, Trudy turns to Jeffrey one last time. ”You’re my buddy and I have to let you go. I really have to, because I don’t want it,” she says, sobbing. ‘I don’t know yet how I’m going to do it. But I’m going to make you proud. But darling, also know how proud I am of you. How brave you have been, you fought like a bear. You have always been very strong. So strong and powerful and straightforward. You have been everything I wished for. I know the kids will remember their loving father. I love you baby, till we meet again.’

Viewers of Over Mijn Lijk cannot keep dry when they see the images of the funeral. “How intense when you see Trudy and the children walking,” someone wrote. “How damn unfair it is,” writes another. “Rest in peace Jeffrey, you’re doing well up there.”
