Jack, a builder, has a job in the local cemetery making a memorial bower. His work is obstructed by the manager, whose brother runs the crematorium. The two brothers are at loggerheads, goaded by Jack's employer and the woman who runs the flower stall, all part of the same family who are major shareholders in the cemetery. It's a bad blood ménage, overseeing the business of the dead, complicated by murder with Jack as suspect and sleuth.
