Based on Poe's "The Premature Burial", this episode tells the story of a funeral director who lives obsessed with the possibility to be buried alive given he suffers from catalepsy. He lives with her niece whom he tries to train in his trade but she is not interested. He forces her to sign a promise to bury him in a cardboard box centimetres away from the ground and a 3-day long wake, just in case he is not dead. (thetvdb.com)
