Alas, for of all sad words of tongue and pen…

(More sad are these we daily see:  
“It is, but hadn’t ought to be”.)

In theory I would expect so, although she’s gone very quiet recently. That said, since we are only allowed seven voices per episode, I assume we’ll be restricted to family Grundy on the day of the funeral. I would have liked to hear the younger members of the family being told about Joe passing, that would have been a more interesting conversation than clearing out his sock drawer and what to do with his teeth…
