I find it a little sad that the double entendre of the title was lost in translation. From the beginning I understood the title to refer to Frieren watching her friends pass away of old age. Then this scene comes around and lets us know that 葬送のフリーレン is not just the title of the story; it's the nickname for Frieren, like The Undertaker or something like that; a name that conveys the destiny of demons that cross Frieren's path.
