Synopsis
Three widows, with very different backgrounds, meet at a mourning support group. They all feel vulnerable and need a change - so they decide to start a funeral home together. Betty, 51, has two children and works in the deli counter at a grocery store. She suffers from severe menopausal problems, has a phobia of death and is completely broke, due to her late husband's debts. Viveka, 42 (a former priest) seems to despise everything and everyone, but has a sharp sense of humor and an even sharper brain. Eva, 74, is the mother figure of the trio, whose wisdom and warmth overcomes all obstacles. 'Death with Zest' will be the name of the funeral home, which will offer a fresh approach to death, but with no professional funeral home experience and with dark secrets bubbling under the surface, will their unexpected friendship last the course...?
