Was it ever shot?  I thought it turned out that all the funeral slides
were a hoax, shot on-set during the making of #1003 at Laura's funeral.
Hence the reported presence of Audrey.

I don't think ALL of them would be trashed.  After all, we need someone
to explain (or at least hint) at more of what's going on in the Lodge.
Chester Desmond is probably the most likely to survive -- after all,
his main reason for being in FWWM is as a substitute Coop.  (I get the
feeling that if Kyle had been more available / willing, he would have
investigated Teresa Banks like he did in the Autobiography.)

On the other hand...  Coop must DIE.  For several reasons.  Kyle's
reluctance to continue is the least of them.  Another one is Jean
Renault's speech about how Coop brought the nightmare with him to
Twin Peaks -- and maybe, if he will die, the nightmare will end.  Most
important, though, is the fact that Leland died, and Twin Peaks is
cyclical.  If there is to be a final confrontation between MIKE and BOB,
we know it will end with BOB getting shot, as in the dream sequence...
and that doesn't bode well for Coop.

Besides, it's just such a neat image for the end of the film for Coop
to be in the chair in the red room, this time with Laura as his guardian /
angel.
