Hunter and Sons Funeral Home has been a family owned institution for three generations. For them a death in the family is more than the loss of a loved one, but the loss of an employee as well. Between planning their cousin's funeral and working six others, no one is left to collect new customers. Enter Envy Saint-Claire. While picking up dead bodies at such exotic locations as nursing homes, hospitals, and morgues; her curiosity gets the better of her and a trip into an empty coffin quickly turns desperate when she cannot open the lid from the inside. Now she's on her way to the crematorium, where her quick nap could turn into the big sleep.
