I heard that at Bela's funeral / wake, Peter Lorre quipped:

"Do you think we should drive a stake into his heart to be sure?"

I've heard it told various ways but, the most famous of the apocryphal stories concerning Bela's funeral has Boris Karloff leaning into the coffin directly into Lugosi's face and saying, " Now Bela, if your putting us on...."
