The BEST episodes of The Undertaker

Every episode of The Undertaker ever, ranked from best to worst by thousands of votes from fans of the show. The best episodes of The Undertaker!

Luc Conrad used to be a police detective. Now he's an undertaker, whose job is usually to comfort and console the next of kin – but sometimes the cop comes out in him, as well. Being closer to the corpse, so to speak, he's often a step ahead of the regular investigators, and finds a skeleton or two hidden in the closet of the grieving bereaved, as well. With his calm, attentive, sensitive manner, he often gets relatives to open up in a way they never would to the police. As soon as Luc starts to doubt a death was of natural causes, his inner sleuth takes over – and so do the headaches for Inspector Anna-Maria Giovanoli.
