I keep coming back to this, my favourite 15-sec of the show.
Throughout of the ep. , we are prompted by the music to feel a run-of-mill fear, just like any other suspense/thriller out there. But that last scene for me is when they make the statement of what it is all about, sadness and the aloneness of the 'verse.
I cannot help but feel a lump in my throat when Serenity breaks free of the Alliance all-powerful cruiser (a lovely scene) which then proceeds to erase the last trace of what really happened with the pathetic graveyard of a ship; there's no sound of explosion, only the music to remind us of the tragedy.

Yah, this episode contains two of my favorite pieces of music from the series: the haunting bit from the end which you describe so well, and the jaunty, rolicking little bit of homespun guitar pretty from the very beginning.

Now, if only Fux TV would have the sense to squeeze a few residual dollars from their coveted but undeveloped rights to the series, and put out a soundtrack CD (or, as had been discussed before, a downloadable-format soundtrack)...But since when do we expect sense from that lot!

Keep flyin'!
