一紧张就流鼻血的杂货店职员奥利弗•辛克（Jay Baruchel 饰）和牧师朋友去乡间参加葬礼，死者是与他关系一向疏远的父亲。他的父亲嗜赌成性，生前竟用轮盘赌的方式决定遗产继承人，而奥利弗就在这番盲打误撞之下拥有了父亲这间濒临倒闭的殡仪馆。 由于斯纳殡仪馆的挤压和奥利弗老爹的挥霍，辛克殡仪馆负债累累，幸好美丽的验尸官兼工作人员瑞伯塔（Rose Byrne 饰）的存在，让奥利弗紧张的神经暂时舒缓。某天晚上，两人参加活动后夜归，无意中撞死一个行人，奥利弗的命运因此被改变……Oliver is destined for an uneventful life until the day he and his brother Jackie breeze into town to attend the funeral of their estranged father. To everyone's bewilderment, Oliver inherits his father's estate-a funeral home. Oliver learns from the handyman Henry that the home is on the verge of bankruptcy. That night, his life gets increasingly complicated when he takes a drunken drive with the bewitching mortician Roberta and collides with a hiker. Roberta cleverly disguises the fatality as an accident, providing Oliver with his first paying customer and launching the duo on a merciless killing spree that evolves from accidental to intentional. As they scramble to stay out of jail and keep the funeral home in business, the body count rises steeply and their victims expire in increasingly bizarre and brutal "accidents". Trying to remain one step ahead of the local law (Roberta's father, Chief of Police Knickle, and her boyfriend, Constable Richmond), Oliver is torn between the affections of Roberta and his young, alluring stepmother, Luanne. With his business and love life blossoming, Oliver gains confidence-until he finds he has dug a grave for himself too deep to escape.
