From Alan Ball, the Academy Award® winning writer of American Beauty comes this darkly comic look at life and death from the perspective of the Fisher's, a dysfunctional family who run an independent funeral home in California.
When a bus kills Nathaniel Fisher, owner of the Fisher & Sons Funeral Home in Los Angeles, the tragedy casts a pall on the homecoming of his prodigal son Nate. Together with his mother Ruth, brother David and sister Claire, they must learn to deal with a death of their own, while figuring out how to go ahead with the business of the living. Six Feet Under is a darkly comic look at a grieving American Family ... that just happens to be in the grief management business.
