Life does not stop being funny
when someone dies.

Barry Lowe ran away to San Francisco to hide who he was, but his escape ended quickly when his younger brother is killed and he finds himself on a return journey home to the family funeral business.  Go back with him as he relives growing up in that same building while he steps in for his parents and takes charge.  If you liked "Six Feet Under" you'll love the quirky and sometimes hilarious characters that inhabit Barry's world.

"With so many dead bodies, this could have been depressing.  It wasn't!  Touching and funny at the same time, In All the Silent Manliness by Lou Kief is a good story, beautifully told.

"In the end, only three things matter: 
how much you loved, how gently you lived, 
and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you."
