      Bring out the irony in the title of the play.  

    Answer:

                      The title "The Dear Departed' literally means that the person who is dead is much loved by the family members (he is called 'Dear'). But actually in the drama, there is a total irony on this title, as his daughters are only concerned about dividing his possessions and not about the sorrow in the family. They are selfish, greedy and materialistic, instead of being sad that their father is dead.
