Premise
In the first season, the employees of the Torregrosa Funeral Home deal with the death of its founder and owner, Gonzálo Torregrosa. Gonzálo's sales agent, Dámaso Carrillo seems certain that he will take control of the company until Gonzálo's widow Nieves decides to run it aided by her hapless but enthusiastic son-in-law, Chemi, and against her daughters' plans to close the funeral home and open a gym. While Dámaso conspires and manipulates his colleagues against the new management, the company faces competition from the Transitus Funeral Home and its expansion plans, as well as a #MeToo case that threatens Gonzalo's legacy.
In the second season Nieves struggles with the revelation of Gonzalo's indiscretions while running the funeral home with the help of Chemi, who continues to launch short-lived schemes that backfire on Torregrosa. Dámaso suspects that Gonzalo is his biological father. Dámaso's apprentice, Pablo, enters into a sexual relationship with Vanesa, Dámaso's main rival from Transitus.
In the third season, Nieves hands the directorship of Torregrosa to Vanesa, but remains as an employee to keep herself busy. Vanesa struggles to keep Chemi and his schemes at bay, while Dámaso undermines Vanesa by exposing his affair with Pablo to the staff, resulting in Vanesa's dismissal.
In the fourth season, Nieves decides on whether Dámaso or Chemi will become the next director of Torregrosa. Vanesa plots revenge against Dámaso.
Torregrossa’s staff also face struggles of their own. The dour and morbidly-minded mortician, Abel, tries to date the superstitious and hypochondriac receptionist, Olivia. His fellow mortician, Manuela, tries to maintain order, but continues to obsess about her near-death experience. Nino, the hearse driver, barely gets through with his alcoholism. The elderly cremator, Anselmo, awaits retirement. The bartender, Laiya, proposes having sex with anyone who would listen. A missing employee, Carmen, remains on leave.
