New episodes will debut on subsequent Sundays at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>A darkly gripping series, THE MORTICIAN chronicles a trusted family-owned funeral home that hid behind a fa\u00e7ade of decency and propriety to take advantage of loved ones at their most vulnerable moments. In the early 1980s, David Sconce, scion of the Lamb family, took over the family business and sought to exploit the deceased in numerous ways to expand their earnings. Driven by profit, the Lamb Funeral Home in Pasadena, California, engaged in years of morally questionable and inhumane practices.<\/p><div id=\"morty-4122816666\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H3PpoGH_Xlg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Featuring an exclusive interview with Sconce, newly released from prison, the series examines the lucrative and ubiquitous multibillion-dollar mortuary industry and illuminates what can happen behind closed doors, away from public scrutiny. With emotional interviews with families of the victims of the Lamb Funeral Home and revelations from former employees, THE MORTICIAN unravels a dark, troubling story that involved mass cremations and stealing from the dead in a multitude of macabre ways. The scandal shook Southern California and as members of the Lamb family stood trial, the funeral industry took heed, bringing about tighter regulations and allowing for greater transparency into the business of death. A testimony from Sconce, who tells his side of the story with animated energy and candor, anchors the series.<\/p>\n<p>Episode Descriptions:<\/p>\n<p>Episode One<\/p>\n<p>Debut date: Sunday, June 1 (9:00-10:00PM ET\/PT)<\/p><div id=\"morty-1512777865\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Lamb Funeral Home, a respected family-owned mortuary in Pasadena, descends into grisly practices after David Sconce, scion of the Lamb family, takes over the business. Deeply ambitious, Sconce covertly pursues extreme measures to beat his competitors. In 1985, a local funeral director, who starts making allegations about the crematorium&#8217;s high turnover rate, succumbs to a heart attack at 24.<\/p>\n<p>Episode Two<\/p>\n<p>Debut date: Sunday, June 8 (9:00-10:00PM ET\/PT)<\/p>\n<p>When the Lamb Funeral Home&#8217;s crematorium is destroyed by a fire in 1986, David is undeterred and finds ways to expand the family business. As allegations of misdeeds mount, David is eventually arrested. When police investigate, they discover shocking evidence that points to David being possibly connected to the assault and later death of a rival mortician.<\/p>\n<p>Episode Three<\/p>\n<p>Debut date: Sunday, June 15 (9:00-10:00PM ET\/PT)<\/p>\n<p>Members of the Lamb family are convicted of various crimes, including fraud. While in prison, a murder charge is brought against David for the death of his competitor, but in 1991, the charges are dropped due to a lack of hard evidence. In all, over 20,000 families were affected by the practices at the Lamb Funeral Home and David&#8217;s case brings about reforms and new regulations to the mortuary business.<\/p>\n<p>Featured Participants: Alongside David Sconce&#8217;s interview is insight from Sconce&#8217;s ex-wife Barbara Hunt; mortician Jolena Grande; mortuary owners Jay Brown and Elie Estephan; journalists Ashley Dunn and David Geary; Lamb Funeral Home victims; former employees and acquaintances of Sconce; and law enforcement and judicial officials.<\/p>\n<p>Credits: HBO Documentary Films presents THE MORTICIAN, a Number 19 Production in association with Strong Baby.
