Written and directed by Chaz Thorne, Just Buried is a Canadian macabre comedy about Oliver Whynacht (Jay Baruchel - Knocked Up, Tropic Thunder), who inherits a funeral home from his father whom he never knew too well. The only problem is nobody passed away in the town for almost a year and whoever dies is picked up by a rival home whose pushy owner even tries to buy out the struggling business. With the help of beautifful mortician Roberta (Rose Byrne - Briseis from Troy), bodies soon start appearing all over the county, bringing new bodies for the funeral home almost every week.
