Carried Without Ceremony
Tidewater Funeral Home, Caldmere
Desmond Farley, 79, was found dead at the foot of Tidewater Funeral Home's interior stairs on the morning of July 3rd — an apparent fall. He should not have been inside the building at all.
Everyone has something to hide.
48. Fourth-generation Driscoll funeral director. Has personally handled over a thousand funerals. Calm, empathetic, precise. Carries the specific loneliness of being the person everyone needs and no one wants to see.
76. Nate's mother. Ran Tidewater for 20 years before he took over. Frank, unsentimental, wryly funny. Says exactly what she thinks and has reached the age where no one can stop her.
Evelyn's son. Has his mother's intelligence but none of her patience. Competent but not exceptional, and increasingly frustrated by the gap.
