The author of Samizdat recorded a monologue of his friend Arsen, who, from the lack of money, got a job for several months to work as a tomb in a small city near Moscow. Why do some employees of the morgue go from work straight to fishing, how the bad funeral bureau differs from the “angelic” and how it happened that Arsen could not bury his own grandmother. The only day of the year when not a single funeral bureau works is Easter. The rest of the time is 24/7.
