6 Best Funeral Home Movies

Comedy intense

Funeral homes are great spooky settings and, now and then, surprisingly warm ones. The Haunting in Connecticut has a family moving into a converted funeral parlor that opens a door to something worse, Tales from the Hood has a strange mortician telling four horror stories, and The Funeral Home mixes ghosts with an undertaker’s dysfunctional family. Elvis & Anabelle, The Burial and This Way Up round out the six.
