This is when an object (not a robot — that's its own trope — or Animate Inanimate Object) stops working, goes missing, or is destroyed or retired, and the characters treat it as though it has died. This can range from simply saying something like "Goodbye, friend", to giving it a whole funeral. Vehicles, toys, and the Companion Cube are commonly "mourned." It can be Played for Laughs but also for drama, especially if the object has become a character in its own right, both in and out of universe. Compare with Sentimental Sacrifice. Often overlaps with Trivial Tragedy. |

In the Good Luck Charlie episode, "Amazing Gracie", Teddy is in need of a new car, and Mr. Wentz reluctantly sells her Gracie, his favorite car. The following day, Gracie gets smashed by a garbage truck when Teddy stops in front of a squirrel stuck in a wad of gum. When Mr. Wentz sees the state of Gracie, he is understandably upset. Near the end of the episode, Teddy and the Wentz family hold a funeral for Gracie. | |

Reaper Man: Invoked. The Grim Reaper, having been transformed into a living human, asks a blacksmith to "kill" an ordinary gardening scythe so that he can use its ghost to fight the new, far more malicious Reaper. Unfortunately, the blacksmith decides not to destroy a perfectly good tool, and Death has to improvise. | |

An episode of The Big Bang Theory has Sheldon's laptop dying. He blasts Amy for buying him a new computer without giving him proper time to mourn the old one. In another episode, Sheldon and Amy discover that their Super Asymmetry Theory was seemingly disproven by an old Russian paper. As a way of moving on, Sheldon decides to give their paper a symbolic Viking Funeral in the bathtub (which ends up setting the shower curtains on fire). |

In one episode of DuckTales (1987), Huey prevents a torpedo from destroying the cruise ship that he and his family are on by hitting it with a marble before it made impact. While all of the other kids celebrate the one-in-a-million shot that he just pulled off, Huey asks them for a minute of silence for the destroyed marble's Heroic Sacrifice, and they all oblige. | |

Thor: Ragnarok: Downplayed but lampshaded. The destruction of Thor's trusty hammer Mjolnir is, at the time, played more for shock that Hela is capable of destroying it. It's not until later on where Thor is choosing a new weapon and lamenting the loss of his hammer that the significance of losing it is made apparent, with Korg outright saying it sounds comparable to losing a loved one. | |

The only difference between the Game Graveyard version and the version that was put back up on the site afterward is one of the fonts. — are sent to the Game Graveyard in the Haunted Woods, where they're given a headstone that says their year of retiring. Clicking on the headstone links to a version of the game that can (well, COULD) be played, but with the score submission disabled. | |

The second episode of Recess, "The Great Jungle Gym Standoff," sees the kids of Third Street School sad to learn that "Old Rusty," the giant play structure in the middle of the students' recess area, is going to be torn down. T.J. asks for some time alone to mourn his old "friend," and eventually decides that he's not giving him up without a fight, climbing on top of Old Rusty and refusing to come down. His friends, the other students, and even the kids' parents (who themselves went to Third Street) all join him. Unfortunately, Old Rusty can't support that much weight, and collapses, putting the trope back into action...but some friendly construction workers offer to repair the structure good as new. The episode ends with a Zeerust future group of kids playing on Old Rusty, who has become immortal. | |

In The Wheel of Time, Davram Bashere tells a story about a general he served under who forced his legion to bury a stand of trees that he had ordered cut down in a fit of pique. "Do you know how long it takes to dig graves for 21 oak trees? I do." The point of the story is that the man was clearly insane, but his followed him because he won battles. | |

One Piece: In the Enies Lobby arc, after sailing the Straw Hats hundreds of kilometers across the sea and eventually degrading to a state beyond repair, the Going Merry is given a Viking Funeral and burned down, with each member of the Straw Hats saying their last farewells to the ship and lamenting how they could've extended her life if they had a shipwright much sooner. Usopp, in particular, is the most heartbroken of the bunch because the ship is a gift from his Childhood Friend Kaya. They continue the Going Merry's legacy with their new ship, the Thousand Sunny.(Justified in that the ship was inhabited by a sentient spirit which says it’s farewells as it is burning) | |

Rugrats: In "The Seven Voyages of Cynthia", Angelica's doll, Cynthia, is lost in the sewers, she gives her a funeral, complete with a eulogy. In "The Trial", Tommy's clown lamp is broken and the titular trial is treated like one for a murder. In "Cuddle Bunny", Kimi gets emotionally attached to a piñata. When it's inevitably smashed, she and her friends gather around it and cry while funeral music plays. Luckily, Stu is able to fix it. |

A Christmas Story: The Old Man was obsessed with his "major award", a giant, tacky lamp in the shape of a woman's leg. He loved it so much that when his wife "accidentally" destroyed it, he took the pieces outside to bury. Ralphie claims to have heard "Taps" playing, softly. | |

Leverage does something similar to the NCIS: Los Angeles example. Hardison is VERY attached to his car, Lucille. In the S2 finale part one? It is destroyed to help them get away, treated by Hardison as a Heroic Sacrifice. Then it gets murdered AGAIN in a second episode, treated as the Moral Event Horizon for the villain, Wil Wheaton. Both are hilarious, if only because Hardison is the only one who thinks of it thusly. | |

Tiny Toon Adventures: In "Strung Along Kitty" (part of "Playtime Toons"), Furrball chases and plays with Mary Melody's hair ribbon all over ACME Acres when it blows in the wind. Near the end of the short, the wind dies down and when Furrball finds the ribbon no longer moving, he sadly buries it. When a raven pulls the ribbon out of the ground, the wind picks up again, and the ribbon moves again, much to Furrball's delight. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: At the end of "SpongeBob vs. the Patty Gadget", a funeral is held for the titular machine as a Bait-and-Switch, with the audience initially led to believe the funeral was for Spongebob himself until he shows up to celebrate. In "The Sponge Who Could Fly", The pants Spongebob used to fly are given a funeral when they get destroyed. Patrick's nose is given its own headstone in "No Nose Knows", when it shrivels up and falls off after smelling a huge ball of garbage made by Spongebob, Squidward, Sandy, and Mr. Krabs to get rid of it. In "One Krabs Trash", Squidward leaves flowers at a headstone saying, "Here lies Squidward's hopes and dreams". Mr. Krabs is unimpressed and mutters "What a baby." |

South Park: In "1%", Cartman finds his favorite doll, Clyde Frog, ripped apart and nailed to a tree, and he holds a funeral in his backyard. He then treats the subsequent destruction of his dolls as brutal murders, and the culprit turns out to be Cartman himself, playing a twisted game of pretend after his friends mocked him for playing with dolls and told him to grow up. In "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes," the townspeople hold funeral services for two different stores (the eponymous Wall-Mart being one of them), lighting a large bonfire and singing "Kumbaya" while holding hands. |

Strong Bad Email: In army, Homestar Runner invades Strong Badia with several others, including a popcorn machine he calls Frank Bennedetto. After Strong Bad drives them off (just by saying "No invasion."), he kicks the left-behind popcorn machine. Homestar, being the Cloudcuckoolander that he is, reacts to the attack as if he actually lost one of his men, saying, among other things, "Don't you die on me!" A hidden scene also shows Homestar breaking the news to Frank's "mother," a microwave. Making this even more ridiculous is that Frank isn't even visibly damaged. After Bubs shoots the Compy 386 in virus, Strong Bad can be seen mourning it. |
