Trivia
Since Fran Drescher & Peter Marc Jacobson (her husband and sitcom's main writer) shamelessly copied Ellen, her production returned the favor by lifting this title's premise from A Plot for Nanny (1994), where Fran's mother, Sylvia Fine, buys her a burial plot, so her pathetic daughter---desperate to be married---can meet an eligible, single mortician.

Goofs
When the group is in the cemetery, deciding one at a time to remain with Ellen to support her, Joe, who is hesitant, asks when they want him to return later to pick them up. This implies that he drove. A few minutes later Audrey, when listing her reasons for staying, says that she has to, because, (to Ellen) "You drove."
