The fisher family is composed of four members; the mother Ruth, the children Nathaniel, David the daughter Claire. Their father is "six feet under", but his spirit haunts them, talking with each of them, helping them to question their own life. He is their conscience.

The Fishers are the owners of a funeral home named "Fisher ans Sons" now directed by David and Nathaniel.

Each of the members has a secret relationship, but has to deal with the family environment.

Sometimes this series is funny and sometimes it is dramatic. Love, freindship, death, life, all these elements are marvelously treated.
