Anecdotes
Nancy Marchand passed away before the third season began filming. Writer David Chase decided there should be one final conversation with Tony before Livia dies. Dialogue from previous episodes was pieced together for Livia's half of the conversation, and state-of-the-art CGI effects were used to place old footage of her face on a body double. The effect cost about $250,000, and took two weeks to put together. Chase was inspired by seeing the same effect used in Gladiator (2000) with Oliver Reed. Unfortunately, this was a difficult process and the part of Livia's hair moves from one side of her head to another and the lighting on her face doesn't match the light of the room or the other characters in the room with her.

Gaffes
When Tony talks to (CGI) Livia about the airline tickets, Livia's hairstyle changes from shot to shot. Her hair is parted on the right side in the first few shots, then the left side, then there's no clear part, back on the right side when she is waving her handkerchief at Tony and finally back on the left side when Tony is leaving.

Funeral scene is worth gold

After rewatching this episode, I have mixed feelings about Tony's relationship with his mom. Sometimes it seems like Tony feels guilty about Livia's death, but other times it appears that he just wants to rush through the condolences and the chaos of the funeral. He even seems uncomfortable when his friends try to comfort him. It reminds me of "The Stranger," a book by Albert Camus, where the main character is indifferent to his mom's death. This connection makes more sense when you consider how often existentialism comes up in the show. However, by the end of the episode, we see a private moment with Tony that reveals what's really going on in his head-things he hasn't even told Melfi. Despite Tony hating his mom and their messed-up relationship, deep down he wishes he had a different kind of mom and that things could've been different with her love, now that she's gone. Janice's stubborn funeral planning for Livia is one of the funniest and most awkward parts of the whole show. Christopher's impromptu speech, not realizing he's at a funeral, is unforgettable.
