"That's Your Funeral" was a BBC sitcom from 1971. The show was about a North of England funeral director called Basil Bulstrode (Bill Fraser). It used numerous urban legends about the funeral industry in its storylines. The show only lasted for one series before being axed.
A very similar theme was used far more successfully in the ITV sitcom "In Loving Memory".

Film

In 1972, the sitcom was adapted into a film version. The plot centres around a rival undertaker's firm being used as a front for drug smuggling. Directed by John Robins, as well as the usual cast it featured numerous well known actors such as Frank Thornton, Dennis Price and Roy Kinnear. However, the film performed poorly at the box office.
