Just Buried
Just Buried is a 2007 Canadian dark comedy film, written and directed by Chaz Thorne. It stars Jay Baruchel and Rose Byrne among several other actors.
Grocery delivery boy Oliver Whynacht and his brother Jackie go on for what they expect to be a quick in-and-out return visit to their hometown in Nova Scotia for their estranged father's funeral. So, Oliver is surprised to find out when the will is executed that he has inherited his father's whole estate, which includes a funeral home. His widow and the embalmer Roberta Knickel are also taken aback by the news.
Shortly after his arrival, Oliver is told by Henry the handyman that the funeral home is facing bankruptcy, as his father is the first 'customer' they've had in over a year. This is mostly due to sleaze-ball Wayne Snarr opening a rival funeral home in town and, through greasy marketing techniques, poaching all the 'clients' from the retirement home which had been a goldmine for Oliver's father.
A stressed Oliver goes out for a night of drinking with Roberta after which, although he feels he's too drunk to drive, she insists "everyone around here does it". So, they jump into the pickup and stick to secondary roads. Initially everything is fine, they start to click, he takes his eyes off the road for a moment and commits manslaughter by hitting and killing a passing Swiss night hiker with the truck.
Roberta unhesitatingly helps Oliver to cover up the crime, as she is also the local coroner in addition to being the funeral home's embalmer. She and Oliver stage the body so that it appears like an accident. This becomes Oliver's first paying customer.
Oliver's first 'customer' turned out to be wealthy, so his first funeral as director is a success. This engenders the duo to kill again, but intentionally. The scheming Roberta even goads Oliver into eliminating their competition.
Suspicion is raised as the two fight to stay out of jail and stage "accidents" all over town. Ironically, Roberta's father turns out to be the local sheriff.
Due to their mutual partnership Oliver and Roberta begin to fall in love despite Oliver's seductive stepmother Luanne. After Roberta reveals that she is pregnant, the two get married. Shortly afterwards, the truth comes out that Roberta murdered his father to lure Oliver back into town.
