We are in the small town of Carthage, Texas, when an assortment of easily recognizable people—the town gossip, the girl who longs to get away, the police chief—is augmented by Bernie Tiede (Todd Buonopane), the town undertaker/mortician.

Bernie enjoys life hugely, whether it’s preparing deceased loved ones for a last viewing with their families (and occasionally sleeping in unoccupied coffins in his beloved funeral home) or directing the community choral group and theatre. He loves people, he loves life, and it’s impossible to imagine that he will become a murderer in the midst of it all. More Review…
