Daniel (Matthew Macfadyen Matthew Macfadyen) is a long-lost writer, and has been living in the shadow of the famous writer brother Robert (Rupert Graves Rupert Graves). Silently shouldering the responsibility of supporting his parents, he hosted his father's funeral this time, but was also overwhelmed by his brother.
The original solemn and sacred funeral was even more messed up by the cousin's fiance, the poor worm Simon (Alan Tudyk) who ingested hallucinogens by mistake. However, a bigger crisis is behind, a mysterious dwarf man (Peter Dinklage) shows up and blackmails Daniel with evidence that destroys all his father's reputation. It turns out that Daniel's father is gay, and this secret is about to be revealed after his death.
Amid the chaos, the funeral went on in fits and starts. Dramatic sadness and humor quietly reveal to us the meaning of funerals - remembering the dead with love and allowing the living to bury their unhappy pasts at funerals.

    The British are indeed better at acting. Compared with the American version, the characters are more delicate and fuller. But without the exaggeration and humor of American colloquialism. The US version I watched first thought the old black people were so funny. It's a little uncomfortable to replace the original version with white people. The ending is better handled.
