6 Best Funeral Home Movies

By Vlad Zakh · September 7, 2026

From a real-life legal showdown between funeral home owners to a haunted mortuary hiding dark secrets, these are the best movies set behind the doors of a funeral parlor. In This Way Up (2008): A father-and-son funeral home team have a very bad day when a falling boulder flattens their hearse mid-journey. Another standout is The Burial (2023): A funeral home owner enlists a charismatic attorney to save his family business and expose corporate corruption along the way.
