HBO’s Three-Part Docuseries The Mortician Set to Bow in June

The three-part documentary series The Mortician has been set to debut on June 1 on HBO and will be available to stream on Max, with subsequent episodes premiering every Sunday.

The Mortician delves into the dark story of a trusted family-owned funeral home. The series follows David Sconce, who, in the 1980s, took over the family business.

The docuseries features an exclusive interview with Sconce, as he has been newly released from prison. The Mortician explores the omnipresent and lucrative mortuary industry. Featuring an array of interviews with families of the victims and revelations from former employees, The Mortician unravels the scandal behind the Lamb Funeral Home.
