Anyone Remember This?

I was reminded the other day of a fairy tale I'm pretty sure I read when I was young.  It was about a young man attending the deathbed or funeral of his grandmother.  It was attended by a host of elves or fairies (don't recall which) and one of them said something to him like "if only you could see her the way we do", or maybe "this is how we see her" (with her being transfigured to look as beautiful as them).  Don't remember it quite clearly enough.  Does this sound familiar to anyone, and if so do you know where I could find a copy of it?
