The Loved One

The motion picture with something to offend everyone!

A darkly comic satire of death, grief, and American commercialism that uses funeral industry absurdity and social pretension to skewer both mourning rituals and Hollywood vanity.

Newly arrived in Hollywood from England, Dennis Barlow finds he has to arrange his uncle's interment at the highly-organised and very profitable Whispering Glades funeral parlour. His fancy is caught by one of their cosmeticians, Aimee Thanatogenos. But he has three problems - the strict rules of owner Blessed Reverand Glenworthy, the rivalry of embalmer Mr Joyboy, and the shame of now working himself at The Happy Hunting Ground pets' memorial home.
