Funeral Fakers runs with a premise that sounds darker than it plays — the funeral industry setting gives Sam Cheever plenty of material for dark comedy, and she leans into the pun potential with four “Mourning” titles that make no apology for the wordplay. The series has the cozy mystery structure readers expect from her work: a cast of recurring characters, a mystery per book, and a light touch that keeps the tone from getting grim.

All four books were published in 2018, making this a tightly packaged complete series. At four entries it is one of Cheever’s shorter mystery series, but it covers enough ground to develop its characters and setting without overstaying its welcome.
