'''''That's Your Funeral''''' was a [[BBC]] [[sitcom]] from 1971 about a [[Northern England|North of England]] [[funeral director]] called Basil Bulstrode (Bill Fraser). Storylines used many [[urban legends]] about the funeral industry. It was cancelled after one series.

A very similar theme was used far more successfully in the [[ITV Network|ITV]] sitcom ''[[In Loving Memory (TV series)|In Loving Memory]]''.
