The Mortician

The Mortician

Directed and executive produced by Joshua Rofé and executive produced by Steven J. Berger, Jonah Hill, and Matt Dines, 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. After taking over the family business in the early 1980s, David Sconce sought to exploit the deceased in numerous ways to expand earnings – ultimately engaging in years of morally questionable and macabre practices, including mass cremations and stealing from the dead. Featuring exclusive interviews with Sconce and the families of the victims, this darkly gripping three-part docuseries illuminates what can happen behind closed doors in the lucrative and ubiquitous multibillion-dollar mortuary industry.
