Looking at her husband’s grave, Linda wonders why all of Willy’s friends and co-workers, by whom he was so well liked, didn’t come to the funeral.
Biff says that Willy had the wrong dreams, that he never knew who he was.
Charley and Bernard are at the funeral as well. Charley, still the good man, defends his dead friend, saying that part of being a salesman is about having a dream.
Happy is mad and defensive. He embraces his father’s dream (the one Biff has rejected), and is determined to "come out number-one man."
Linda can’t understand why Willy killed himself. She declares she had finally made the last payment on their house that day – they really own it now.
She cries over the grave, repeatedly sobbing, "we’re free."
