Wooden Overcoats

RUDYARD FUNN RUNS A FUNERAL HOME ON THE ISLAND OF PIFFLING.
It used to be the only one. It isn't anymore.

Wooden Overcoats is a British audio drama that takes place in the fictional town of Piffling Vale. It has two main characters, Rudyard Funn, and his twin sister Antigone Funn. The pair own a funeral home passed down for many generations, and they, being the only funeral home on the tiny island, have good business, despite much of the town hating them for numerous reasons. This, of course, changes, when Eric Chapman, another funeral home owner comes and sets up his own nicer, fancier home. The people of the town take to him quickly, leaving the Funn's and their assistant Georgie Crusoe, at a loss. The audiodrama follows the three workers at Funn Funerals and their mishaps.

Narrated by Rudyard's mouse friend, Madeleine, Wooden Overcoats is an account of her time at Funn Funerals. She hopes to publish her stories, called Memoirs of a Funeral House Mouse, and hopes that one day it will become a Sunday Times Bestseller.
