A darkly gripping series, THE MORTICIAN chronicles a trusted family-owned funeral home that hid behind a façade of decency and propriety to take advantage of loved ones at their most vulnerable moments. In the early 1980s, David Sconce, scion of the Lamb family, took over the family business and sought to exploit the deceased in numerous ways to expand their earnings. Driven by profit, the Lamb Funeral Home in Pasadena, California engaged in years of morally questionable and inhumane practices.

Berger, Jonah Hill, and Matt Dines; produced by M. Elizabeth Hughes and Alison Goodwin; For HBO: executive producers, Nancy Abraham, Lisa Heller, and Tina Nguyen.
