1	!! Book
2	* The last line of the book and movie: "I wish you all a long and happy life."
3	* When the family dog passes away from old age and, when reuniting with Susie in the afterlife, knocks her over with happiness. Sigh
4	* "You are beautiful, Susie Salmon".
5	* The impromptu memorial for Susie out in the cornfield where she was killed, a year after her death. It starts out with just Ruth and Ray, but the neighbours spot them and the candlelight and come out to join them. Gradually more and more people arrive until the sky is tinged with all the candles. Jack, Lindsey and Buckley are the last to arrive and space is immediately made for them.
6	** Ruth tells Ray and Sam to go help Jack, who is still limping from his injury. They do so immediately.
7	** The fact that it seems the community has finally forgiven Jack for freaking out and scaring Clarissa that one night.
8	* After Abigail leaves, the neighbourhood starts leaving food on the Salmons doorstep every single day. The food isn't always the best, but Jack still appreciates it all the same.
9	* While Grandma Lynn is ''Abigail's'' mother, she's staunchly on Jack's side and even moves in to help after Abigail leaves.
10	* When the Singhs are invited in for the family circle towards the end Susie says Jack will always have a place in his heart for the boy who loved his little girl.

12	!! Film
13	* In the film, Abigail, who ran out on her family because she couldn't deal with Susie's death, comes home after several years, goes up to her daughter's old room and says "I love you, Susie." Pass the tissues, please.
14	* Lindsey experiencing her first kiss. Susie's narration describes it as "my sister, who always said she never believed in love" - which sells that even though she's experienced grief, Lindsey is able to have happy moments in her life.
15	* During the montage of Grandma Lynn wreaking havoc in the house, there is a cute sequence of the washing machine overflowing - and her and Buckley playing in the suds.
16	* "Of course it's beautiful. It's ''Heaven!''" It's the way [[TearJerker she says it.]]
17	** All the victims coming to welcome Susie to move on with them. The youngest - the poor six-year-old who never got a chance to live - comes up to Susie and hugs her.
18	** Susie also reunites with Holly. The last time they had seen each other, Susie had obliviously told her she doesn't know how she feels. Then she discovered Holly was killed by Harvey too. But Holly just is happy to see her, and seems excited to finally move on to Heaven.
19	* The scene between Susie and Ray is toned down in the film, which makes it much sweeter and without the {{Squick}}y implications of Susie using Ruth's body to have sex with Ray. This time it's just her experiencing her first kiss.
20	--> '''Susie:''' You wrote me a poem once. You called yourself 'The Moor'.
21	** And Ray returning it with a beautiful MeaningfulEcho that Reece Richie sells the hell out of.
