In Loving Memory - Season 2 (1980)

Following a drunken birthday celebration Billy loses a coffin with a body due for burial . The police find it but in order to hit a funeral deadline Ivy has buried somebody else and when she and Billy try to swap the coffins back again they are arrested for grave robbing and must appear in court. They are acquitted but Ivy fears it will harm her application to be the British Undertakers' Association's first female president.

A despondent Ivy fails in her bid to become the president of the British Undertakers' Association and, to make things worse, Billy's pet frog is discovered inside the coffin at the latest burial. Misreading a note left by his aunt Billy wrongly assumes that she is suicidal and ends up dragging the canal for her whilst she joins the onlookers watching him from a bridge.

When rabble-rousing evangelist Brother Benjamin Bailey arrives in town Billy is smitten by his assistant Sister Joanna and willingly joins their mission as a fund-raiser. Ivy is shocked when he announces that he might be leaving the business to travel with them and relieved when he discovers that they are a pair of con artists.

A hot summer spells a lack of trade for Ivy with the bank threatening to repossess the business for resale. After an unfortunate double booking the future looks bleak - until Ivy gets a client with an unusual last request.
