Summary

"Undertaking Betty" is an outrageous comedy set in a small Welsh town about a funeral parlor owner (Molina) whose life is about to turn upside down. The woman he's loved since she was a young girl (Blethyn) is about to become available... by staging her own untimely demise! And the business he's always loved is about to come under attack, from a flashy American competitor (Walken), who wants to "put the fun back in funerals" with theme burials, Vegas-style ceremonies and a whole lot of neon lighting. Neither our leading man nor this small town will ever be the same again. "Undertaking Betty" also stars Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts as the hilariously scheming mistress whose diabolical ways add even more fuel to the comedic fire.
