Set in a fictional Lancashire town in 1929, In Loving Memory is a classic British comedy series that depicts the hilarious events that occur in an undertaker’s business when the owner (Freddie Jones - The Elephant Man) dies, leaving his sensible widow Ivy (Thora Hird - Last of the Summer Wine) to carry on with the help of her naïve and clumsy nephew, Billy (Christopher Beeny - Upstairs, Downstairs). Whether dealing with stray coffins, local busybodies, dishonest rivals or faulty hearses, Ivy always manages to cope, while Billy’s best intentions usually end in laughable disaster.
