Premise

Good Grief focuses on a funeral home called "The Sincerity Mortuary" in Dacron, Ohio run by strait-laced Warren Pepper (Joel Brooks), his sister Debbie (Wendy Schaal), and her flamboyant husband Ernie Lapidus (Howie Mandel), who was determined to "put the 'fun' back in 'funeral'."[1][2] Tom Poston and Sheldon Feldner played assistants Ringo Prowley and Raoul, respectively.
