Caring for the Recently Deceased is a darkly funny and unconventional spin on what it means to lose a loved one. Marjoram and Glynn have been married for 30 years. Living on the same street, in the same bungalow, their suburban life is routine to say the least. Things change, however, when Glynn's slovenly lifestyle finally catches up with him: Marjoram suddenly finds herself widowed after Glynn suffers a massive stroke. But amid the chaos and the loss, she also can't help but feel just a little relieved - finally, a chance to move on with her life. But respite is short lived...when her freshly dead husband crashes his own wake, Marjoram faces a whole new set of challenges.
