There’s a story behind every farewell in a funeral parlor.
Three Viewings lets us in on three.
A mortician shares a long repressed secret.
A woman comes home to settle a long standing score.
A sheltered wife learns the truth about her marriage.
Three tales of life, love and loss, rich with humor, pathos and suspense, packing an even more powerful punch experienced in an actual funeral home.
“..life-enhancing, dramatic and comic…”
