Mortimer's Funeral Home

About
Gay people can’t always die on their own terms. Especially not in 1971. At Mortimer’s Funeral Home, they do your funeral your way, whether it’s a traditional Catholic service or a full-leather pup party. Whatever honors the life of the deceased, Mortimer will make happen. That is, until one request makes him question what he’s willing to do to accommodate someone’s dying wish.
Featuring
MORT — Jamie Ewing
GRACE —Tafadzwa Diener
