Shortly after arriving Henry, the handyman tells Oliver that the funeral home is facing bankruptcy. A stressed Oliver goes out for a night of drinking with Roberta Knickel after which he hits and kills a hiker with his truck. Roberta, who is both the local coroner and funeral home embalmer, helps Oliver stage the body so that it appears like an accident. This becomes Oliver's first paying customer, encouraging the duo to intentionally kill again. Suspicion is raised as the two fight to stay out of jail and stage "accidents" all over town. Due to their mutual partnership Oliver and Roberta begin to fall in love despite Oliver's seductive stepmother Luanne. After Roberta reveals that she is pregnant, the two get married. Shortly after the truth comes out that Roberta murdered Oliver's father to lure him back into town. Roberta was using Oliver to regain ownership of the funeral home which originally belonged to her mother. The film concludes as Roberta kills Oliver and gains possession of the funeral home. Cast

Andrew Barker of Variety called the film "Bloody and irredeemably misanthropic" stating that the film "has enough charm to make for a sporadically enjoyable if wildly uneven entry in the growing body of cheeky corpse comedies." This review also calls attention to several actor's performances in the film including those of Jay Baruchel whom he found misplayed the role. Barker states that the two standout performances were that of Graham Green who played Henry Sanipass, and Christopher Shore who played Wayne Snarr.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|work=The New York Times|title=Just Buried|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/416540/Just-Buried/overview}} 2. ^{{cite news|first=Andrew |last=Barker |title=Just Buried|url= https://variety.com/2008/film/reviews/just-buried-1200472521/. |work=Variety |date=November 3, 2008 |accessdate=March 31, 2018|deadurl=no |df=}} External links
