KCRW Partner Screening: ‘The Mortician’

KCRW, Vidiots, and HBO Documentary Films invite you to an advance screening of The HBO Original Documentary series The Mortician, followed by a conversation with Director and Executive Producer Joshua Rofé, moderated by KCRW’s Elvis Mitchell.

A darkly gripping series, The Mortician chronicles a trusted family-owned funeral home that hid behind a façade of decency and propriety to take advantage of loved ones at their most vulnerable moments. In the early 1980s, David Sconce, scion of the Lamb family, took over the family business and sought to exploit the deceased in numerous ways to expand their earnings. Driven by profit, the Lamb Funeral Home in Pasadena, California engaged in years of morally questionable and inhumane practices.
