In this first episode, Billy embarks on a poignant but entertaining trip by visiting a convention for funeral directors in Austin, Texas, to check out the best deals for the dearly departed. He also gets the lowdown on a drive-through funeral parlour in Los Angeles and experiences a voodoo ceremony in New Orleans. The Big Yin also talks to his old pal Eric Idle about how Monty Python's Always Look on the Bright Side of Life has become a huge hit at funerals.
