That's Your Funeral
That's Your Funeral was a BBC sitcom from 1971 about a North of England funeral director called Basil Bulstrode. Storylines used many urban legends about the funeral industry. It was cancelled after one series.
A very similar theme was used far more successfully in the ITV sitcom In Loving Memory.Film
In 1972, the sitcom was adapted into a film version by Hammer Films. The plot concerns two rival undertakers whose firms are used as fronts for drug smuggling. Directed by John Robins, as well as the usual cast it featured numerous well known actors such as Roy Kinnear, Dennis Price, Sue Lloyd, Richard Wattis, John Ronane and Frank Thornton. However, the film performed poorly at the box office.
