BBC Three - BBC Comedy Short Films, A Better Place

An oddball family devise a plan to save their failing funeral home from a business rival.

After their father’s passing, an oddball trio inherits the failing family funeral business. Led by hapless son Archie, they devise a plan to save their funeral home.

An oddball family make a brave, but bungling, attempt to save their failing funeral home in the sleepy Scottish fishing village of Kincully. Archie, having recently inherited the floundering family business from his domineering dad, is determined to prove himself. His sister Moira, the company mortician, and hearse driver Cousin Ron are looking to Archie to prevent A Better Place Funeral Home from falling into the hands of Sympathy Plus, a corporate funeral chain run by the power-hungry Eileen. 

Archie is also living in the shadow of his late father - literally. He keeps him in a great big freezer on the landing. With time running out, Archie hatches a plan to keep hold of the family business. 

Will Archie’s scheme work? Or will A Better Place fall prey to Eileen’s growing empire?
