The unmarried owners and operators of a ramshackle funeral home specializing in coffin rentals must fight to keep their business afloat when the powers that be attempt to shut the shady business down in order to construct a new church. For Guido and Pining, death is a lucrative business. While their modest funeral parlor is a popular hangout for the dregs of society, owner Guido generally goes about his business embalming bodies while make-up specialist Pining ensures that the dearly departed have a pleasant appearance for their big sendoff. The back alley behind the mortuary is usually populated by prostitutes, ex-convicts, and other unsavory types, leading the municipal authorities to speclate that they might be able to neighborhood up if the current building were razed and a new church was erected in its place. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
