That's Your Funeral was a BBC sitcom from 1971 about a North of England funeral director called Basil Bulstrode (Bill Fraser). Storylines used many urban legends about the funeral industry. It was cancelled after one series.

A very similar theme was used far more successfully in the ITV sitcom In Loving Memory.

BBC One Scotland and BBC One Northern Ireland dropped the show to accommodate their regional programmes in the same timeslot That's Your Funeral aired on the network BBC One and BBC One Wales.
