When it comes to humorously talking about death, the perspective you probably hear from the least is the mortician. Real life mortician Caitlin Doughty is changing that.

Doughty wrote a memoir about her time coming up in the mortuary business called Smoke Gets In Your Eyes & Other Lessons From The Crematory. If you’ve ever watched her Q&A web series “Ask a Mortician”, you’ll find that she’s quite cheery about talking about death and wants to dispel a lot of myths surrounding the inevitable end, probably not to the delight of someone like April Ludgate.

So, Paramount and Anonymous Content are partnering up to develop a series based on her memoir, which we’d imagine is a personal workplace comedy set in a mortuary.

We could definitely be on board for that.
