This first book in the series gives us a new and interesting character. I can't say that I've read a lot about morticians, especially funny ones. Hitch Sewell is a funny guy, with lots of snide and wry observations. The story is an enjoyable read.
I read this one and the next, but after two books, I was finding that I really didn't like Hitch very much. He has very loose morals; I found his way of thinking not aligned with mine. It was uncomfortable to go around with a guy who is not faithful to his woman (girlfriend in this case) and doesn't feel conflicted by that.
So read the first one, enjoy the funny situations, and try not to identify with Hitch too much.

I do love Cockey's tales of "Hitch," the tall good-looking Baltimore mortician, his daffy ex-wife, Julia, and his aunt Billie, partner in the funeral home. In this first of the series, Hitch meets Kate. And the bodies pile up. A very funny series.

A very entertaining undertaker combined with a good mystery makes good reading

Very funny. I liked it so much I read all of this author's books.

Fun, but not overwhelmingly clever. I liked this book's refreshing approach, not all the same old stuff. My book club hated it, though.
