After Daralynn's father and siblings die, her angry-widow mother, a stylist for a funeral home, lets her daughter out of the house only to assist at work. When Clem's Crematorium threatens Mom's livelihood, Daralynn decides to investigate the owner. This improbably lighthearted mystery, told from Daralynn's entertainingly candid perspective, deals with death and its aftermath in a straightforward style.
