Bernie Tiede is a chubby undertaker, who takes pride in his work. He’s a Gospel-singing tenor. In a series of interviews with townspeople, mixed with flashbacks, we follow Bernie: he arrives in Carthage, Texas, where old ladies adore him; he befriends a wealthy, mean-spirited widow named Marjorie Nugent; they become companions in both daily routines and expensive vacations. Marjorie changes from sour and alone to happy with Bernie; then she gets possessive. What will sweet Bernie do when he is pushed to his limits
