Join the Morbid family as they attempt to put the “fun” back into funerals! Morbid & Sons is an interactive, macabre experience about death and the afterlife, a musical treat for all the family!

Business is dead! No one is dying anymore; the obituaries in the newspapers have been blank for weeks. The Morbid family is struggling to make ends meet and poverty has forced them to take to the streets to sell death to the living. 

They hope to drum up some much-needed funeral trade by travelling from town to town with their Victorian “pop-up funeral shop”. Drop in and try on a coffin: the offer is buy one get one free! Take the hearse out for a little road test: this is a one-stop shop for your final rest! 

Listen while the Morbid family sing humorous songs about hideous deaths and watch as they display their expertise by way of a demonstration funeral. Be careful they might “kill you with kindness”, or “embalm you while you wait”! 

Remember, death comes to us all in the end.
