When a bus kills Nathaniel Fisher, owner of the Fisher & Sons Funeral Home in Los Angeles, the tragedy casts a pall on the homecoming of his prodigal son Nate.

The HBO television series SIX FEET UNDER about the members of a dynamic Los Angeles-based family that operates the Fisher and Sons Funeral Home has an ironically grim but intriguing premise: each episode is based on the death and extenuating circumstances of the family's current client. When a porno star dies and is brought to Fischer and Sons an entourage of her former costars appear to mourn her death. In another episode the family must negotiate with tough Mexican-American gang members who have very specific requests for the funeral of one of their brethren. A sassy drama that is rife with black comedy SIX FEET UNDER follows other HBO hit series like SEX IN THE CITY THE SOPRANOS and OZ. Alan Ball created the hit series after scoring a huge success with his original screenplay for AMERICAN BEAUTY. Ball has written and directed several of the 13 episodes that comprise this first season.
