And it’s bugging me no end, as I very much want to see it. I can’t even remember who’s in it, although there are several well known people. The trailer shows a family going home for a funeral. The daughter says to her mother “But you put people in boxes all the time.” The mother retorts “People put themselves in boxes. I just label them.”

Anybody? That quote didn’t work for me on IMDb.

Do you have an approximate date when this movie came out?

This past year. Within the last six months, in fact.

Pieces of April, maybe? Except there’s no funeral.

mm…No, they’re going home specifically for the funeral. And to reconnect with the family. Damn. Well, at least I won’t be alone wondering “What the HELL was that??”

[Garden State](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0333766/)? Plot from IMDB: “A young man returns home for his mother’s funeral after being estranged from his family for a decade.” Except, if it’s the mother’s funeral, she won’t be making any comments to her daughter.

Since you haven’t yet responded to the last offering, I took the liberty of posting your question on the IMDB board, and someone mentioned that it might be [Eulogy (2004)](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0349416/combined).
