The Bernard daughters, Deja and Reagan, primarily work in the funeral home’s office. Reagan, a senior in high school, and her sister also have a side gig selling pound cakes. In various episodes, the girls are called out for taking long lunches and using funeral home equipment to market the cake business.
Uncle Kevin’s shenanigans, the girls’ preoccupation with their lives outside the funeral business, and Debbie’s overpowering personality keep Ryan Bernard on his toes. He often expresses his faux frustration with his family members through exaggerated eye rolls and amused, “are you for real? His unconditional love for his family always shines through, though, adding to the show’s appeal. As part of its unscripted expansion, Netflix has become the latest network to borrow buzzy concepts wholesale and restage them with real people. Most recently, Bling Empire was a transparent riff on Crazy Rich Asians, a strategy understandably borrowed from such longstanding precedents as the Real Housewives franchise. But while Buried by the Bernards, which premiered on the service last Friday, may be another family show about a funeral home, the eight-episode season plays out nothing like Six Feet Under.
‘Buried by the Bernards’ Is a Different Kind of Netflix Reality Show
Multi-generational family-owned establishments are common in deathcare — perhaps more common than in most professions. Families often trust the stability, consistency, and tradition of longstanding family-run organizations. MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WVLT/WREG) — The owners of a funeral home that lets friends and family say goodbye to loved ones in an unconventional way has captured the attention of Hollywood. The owners of a funeral home that lets friends and family say goodbye to loved ones in an unconventional way has captured the attention of Hollywood. The difficulty of the task at hand doesn’t mean it’s altogether impossible.
Such hooks accurately forecast the show’s kooky vibe, an obvious contrast with the actual tasks at hand, if not ones the show cares to dwell on. The foremost family show about a funeral home will forever be Six Feet Under, the early-aughts dramedy that spawned True Blood, Transparent, and with its iconic finale montage, the pop stardom of Sia. An underappreciated part of HBO’s Golden Age revolution, Six Feet Under turned the grieving Fisher family into avatars of sad white people in Los Angeles, an archetype that would soon anchor an entire subgenre in itself. Every cold open featured some inventive new death, and every subsequent hour showed the Fishers helping other families manage their trauma even as they neglected to cope with their own. “With family dramedy at the center, the family-owned and operated business provides their community top tier care, service, and comfort with a side of laughter in the toughest of times,” said Netflix in a statement. Kirstie Louise Alley (January 12, 1951 – December 5, 2022) was an American actress.

While none of the family work there today, the business still is operating and is owned by the local Comer family. The show centered on the relationships between the employees, for instance Chuck Wissmiller and his three daughters - all of whom worked together at the mortuary during the show's run. Each episode featured one or two funerals with families who shared their grief while celebrating the life and contributions of their loved ones. The departed themselves were seen from time to time on the show, but care was taken by the crew to portray their memory respectfully.

Lenox Hill had to painstakingly obtain releases in order to navigate patient privacy laws and was rewarded with an enduring account of a city in crisis. One could argue Buried by the Bernards just isn’t interested in that kind of ambition, but there are nuggets of sociological interest buried at the margins. Ryan makes an offhand comment about how Black families like his own, and the vast majority of his clientele, generally don’t opt for cremations; the funeral home’s oft-touted low prices are positioned as a way to be of service to a community in need. Yet these observations are never developed into full-fledged themes; the viewer has to squint to make them out. Bernard founded the business with the hope that he’ll be able to pass it down to this daughters Deja, funeral director apprentice, and Reagan. R. Bernard Funeral Services went viral in 2017 for offering drive-thru viewing services for mourners to view bodies from their vehicles, an idea Bernard implemented in order to stand out from other funeral homes, as reported by Fortune.

The former boxer from Grand Rapids, Mich. added a lot of punch with his authentic tell-it-like-it-is comments that revealed him as both tough and compassionate. Sadler's original funeral director's license was revoked in 1987 after his grand theft conviction. However, despite his subsequent embezzlement conviction and prison term, Sadler's funeral director's license was reinstated in 1999, about two years after he got out of prison, after he claimed to have reformed. Once again, a heretofore-concealed criminal record of a reality-TV show participant has been dug up. In this case, though, it was convictions for grand theft and embezzlement that were the skeletons in the closet of ...
Carolyn began her career in the Telecommunication Industry as an Operator with Southwestern Bell. Carolyn is a Certified Paralegal and worked for a local attorney for many years. She began working in the family funeral business in 1994 and has since found her calling in helping families during the most difficult times in their lives. It seems stunning that a person with so much history of preying on innocents should be permitted to hold a position that puts him in contact with people at one of the most vulnerable moments in their lives. But, in fact, it turns out that Sadler does not have a valid California funeral director's license either. There’s no doubt the family members in family-owned funeral homes, especially multi-generational ones, face similar issues.
