The Loved One (1965)

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. dying and death, based on novel or book, cemetery, dark comedy, crematorium, gay interest, social satire, hollywood, los angeles, california, death, pet cemetery, funeral director, funeral home, funeral parlor, englishman abroad, embalming, death of uncle, hollywood hills, business rivalry, memorial, film industry, irreverent, ensemble cast
