[edit] Plot Summary

Three small town layabouts are thrust into the alien and disturbing world of the death industry when Eric's distant aunt dies and, on a whim, appoints him as the executor of her funeral. Amid a menagerie of off-center characters including a garrulous, poetry spewing waitress, an unctuous mortician with a bizarre sense of humor, a coarse embalming trainee who used to play in a punk band and whose one claim to fame was a top 40 hit called "Love Banana," and an intemperate mourner keen on planning her own funeral, the three friends learn more than they ever wished to know about the machinations of the death industry and in the process are forced to confront their own unexamined feelings about mortality.
