The Mortician

The darkly gripping documentary series The Mortician unravels the haunting story of L.A.’s most infamous family-run mortuary. In the early 1980s, David Sconce took over the Lamb Funeral Home and engaged in morally questionable and inhumane practices to increase his earnings.

Featuring an exclusive interview with Sconce — newly released from prison — the three-part series examines the multibillion-dollar mortuary industry and illuminates what can happen behind closed doors.

Director, Joshua Rofé; executive producers, Joshua Rofé, Steven J. Berger, Jonah Hill, and Matt Dines; producers, M. Elizabeth Hughes and Alison Goodwin. For HBO: executive producers, Nancy Abraham, Lisa Heller, and Tina Nguyen.
