From acclaimed director Frank Oz (”In & Out,” “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”) comes “a fast, furious and riotously funny farce” (Maxim) that’ll have you dying with laughter! As the mourners and guests at a British country manor struggle valiantly to “keep a stiff upper lip,”" a dignified ceremony devolves into a hilarious, no-holds-barred debacle of misplaced cadavers, indecent exposure, and shocking family secrets. Packed with extras including audio commentaries and an uproarious gag reel, “Death At A Funeral” blows the lid off the proverbial coffin as “the film’s delicious comic flourishes… sight gags, slapstick, flawless timing… are served up by an outstanding cast” (O, The Oprah Magazine).
