Hell, imagine how much more tasteful this gag would've been if she was alive. Rod and Todd start singing, Ned looks at them happily. Suddenly, Maude's ghost appears, they hold hands, and watch their sons perform together. Then, Edna walks in from the right, alive, carrying a similar tray of food to the one Maude did when she died. Edna sits down and smiles at Ned. Ned looks at Maude's ghost one more time before it fades away, smiling. Then, Ned and Edna look on at the performance together, smiling.
Don't wanna be a pretentious fucko but to me that's how you pay tribute to a late actor. You show their character moving on and being happy.
