Just for memes and shits, obviously.
A more interesting comparison or crossover would be for Marcille from Dungeon Meshi to have a talk about differences in lifespans with Frieren.
I would imagine Frieren is much older than Marcille.

"i'll see you at your funeral"
is one way to say "you are getting killed soon"
Yeah, "slayer" may be more of a creative translation, but there seems to really be a double meaning in the serie title.
葬送 (そうそう) [Common word]
1. funeral; burial rites
2. attendance at a funeral
葬 (Kanji) (12 strokes. JLPT N1. Jōyō kanji, taught in junior high.)
interment, bury, shelve
送 (Kanji) (9 strokes. JLPT N4. Jōyō kanji, taught in grade 3.)
escort, send
It apparently can work both as "escorting a friend during their burial" = attending to their funeral
as "escorting demons to their burial" = filling in the requirement for a burial, got to be dead first. So "slayer" is actually heavily implied. Those demons aren't just going to die by themselves, an elf got to help with that step.
Who gets escorted, and if they were already dead before the escorting, is key.
Honestly, the translator could have carried on with "Frieren at the Funeral" and it would have worked regardless.
Given the context it's pretty clear what it means.
