That's Your Funeral was a BBC sitcom from 1971 about a North of England funeral director called Basil Bulstrode (Bill Fraser). Storylines used many urban legends about the funeral industry. It was cancelled after one series.
A very similar theme was used far more successfully in the ITV sitcom In Loving Memory.
BBC One Scotland and BBC One Northern Ireland dropped the show to accommodate their regional programmes in the same timeslot That's Your Funeral aired on the network BBC One and BBC One Wales.
Film
In 1972, the sitcom was adapted into a film version by Hammer Films.[1] It was one of a series of big screen adaptations of sitcoms at the time.[2]
The plot concerns two rival undertakers whose firms are used as fronts for drug smuggling. Directed by John Robins, as well as the usual cast it featured well known actors Roy Kinnear, Dennis Price, Sue Lloyd, Richard Wattis, John Ronane and Frank Thornton.[3] However, the film performed poorly at the box office.
