“Dearly Departed” - In the Baptist backwoods of the bible belt, the beleaguered Turpin family proves that living and dying in the South are seldom tidy and are always hilarious.  Despite their earnest efforts to pull themselves together for their fathers funeral,the Turpin's other problems keep overshadowing the solemn occasion:  Firstborn Ray-Bud drinks himself silly as the funeral bills mount; Junior, the younger son, is juggling, financial ruin, a pack of no-neck monster kids, and a wife who suspects him of infidelity in the family car; their spinster sister, Delightful, copes with death as she does life, by devouring junk food; and all the neighbors add more than two cents. Amidst the chaos, The Turpins turn for comfort to their friends and neighbors, an eccentric community of misfits who just manage to pull together and help each other through their hours of need, and finally, the funeral.
