R.I.P.

1992–1994 · 3 seasons

A gentle, chatty sitcom where a family funeral parlour stumbles through everyday mishaps, more cosy than morbid.

Overview: RIP was about the funeral company Vingerhoets. This business is losing its paterfamilias and boss. The widow Victorine Vingerhoets and her nephew, Willie Haezevoets, who live at home, have to take over the business and keep it going. Willie is patronized as a son and doesn't feel like going through life as an undertaker because he is desperately looking for a wife. The input of friend of the house Raymond van Derre (also known as Raymondke) often ensured that things never went the way they should.
How it feels: Light, warm, satirical and whimsical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Family, work, death, love
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
