Rudyard Funn runs a funeral home in the village of Piffling Vale. 
It used to be the only one.  ​
​It isn't anymore.


Rudyard Funn and his equally miserable sister Antigone run their family’s failing funeral parlour,  where they get the body in
the coffin in the ground on time. But one day they find everyone enjoying themselves at the funerals of a new competitor
– the impossibly perfect Eric Chapman! With their dogsbody Georgie, and a mouse called Madeleine,
​the Funns are taking drastic steps to stay in business…
