After the death of their grandfather, Sarah and Taylor visit a funeral home to plan the necessary final arrangements. Grieving already makes the process difficult, but add in an overly enthusiastic funeral home assistant, and things are certainly going to heat up!

Dark and delightful! You had me at the opening line: "I bet you are just dying to meet Mr. Murphy" ! Brava.

"End of life" plays and stories do not always have to feel like the "end of life". I've heard comic writers and comedians tell of getting their best ideas at funerals and funeral homes. Thank you, Anastasia Wild, for sharing "Cremains to Be Seen" with us, yet another end-of-life tale that goes down with ease and is so desperately needed in life and in the theater. And the fact that the piece is well written doesn't hurt, either.

I love a good dark comedy and this fits the bill. Decisions about death, burials and funerals are excruciating but also filled with bizarre moments. This short play draws those out to cringe-worthy as well as genuine laughs.
