Well, it actually goes without saying: after Ennis and Jack killed themselves a nice elk that poor beast was dead.

"F" is funeral

Jack's parents did not go to to Texas to attend his funeral.
Some of his ashes will be in the Lightning Flat family plot.
Ennis regrets that the ashes will be on the grieving plain, rather than on Brokeback Mountain.

Ennis' quiet and introverted nature didn't seem to keep Jack at bay.
