Cold in the Parlor
Tidewater Funeral Home, Caldmere
A state health inspector arrived at Tidewater Funeral Home on a routine visit and left in an ambulance. The question is who put him there — and what he found before they did.
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.
A former PGA Tour hopeful who washed out and landed at Pinecrest. Likable, athletic, and far more observant than his easygoing demeanor suggests. His late uncle's funeral arrangements brought him to Tidewater — but the timing of his arrival raised questions from the start.
