Karen's Undertaking songs read

By Rachel Lawson

💀 Where death is a business, and the staff are anything but lifeless…

Charon Drax—ferryman of the dead and part-time entrepreneur—launches a funeral home staffed by reluctant necromancers, moody reapers, and one Coldplay-obsessed coroner with a flair for chaos. When the dearly departed start stirring and the living can't stop grieving, it's up to Charon and her undead crew to keep the business afloat… even if it kills them.

From gothic eulogies to magical mishaps, Karen's Undertaking is a darkly comedic romp through the underworld of funeral rites, family drama, and Coldplay-fueled existential crises. Featuring Blake, the emotionally embalmed illusionist, and Lance, the necromancer with a serial killer reputation, this supernatural satire delivers heart, humor, and a chorus of “O-o-o-oh”s you won’t forget.

Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and anyone who’s ever wondered what happens when the reapers unionize.

  • 1170. The Emperor's Dilemma, Love and Peace

    16:26||Season 1, Ep. 1170
    In a Rococo paradise ruled by an Empress with two fatal weaknesses — beauty and the Emperor himself — Fred Sapphirus is sent on the most dangerous diplomatic mission of his undead life. Forced to seduce a ruler who adores him, trapped in a lie that betrays his secret wife, and haunted by the paradox that made him his own grandson, Fred must choose between peace for the galaxy and the love he’s forbidden to show. When the Empress’s obsession turns into a political catastrophe, one kiss shatters alliances, breaks hearts, and threatens to expose the King of Death behind the mask of an emperor. This is a story of duty, deception, and the price of peace — and nothing will ever be the same again.
  • 1169. Stand and Deliver : The King's Man v3

    18:34||Season 1, Ep. 1169
    Gentleman John Faulkner never meant to fall in love — especially not with a masked highwaywoman whose identity could destroy them both. As rival outlaws, vengeful soldiers, and a furious magistrate close in, their secret romance becomes a race against fate. Stand and Deliver: The King’s Man is a story of honour, sacrifice, and the price of loving someone you were never meant to meet.
  • 1168. The Haunting of the Necromancer v4

    05:28||Season 1, Ep. 1168
    A ghost follows the Necromancer home — and instead of terrorising the family, he steals the best seat in the house and binge‑watches soap operas. With the Grand Reaper acting like a couch potato and the kids calling their dad “Mega Dork,” this haunting spirals into magical mischief. The Haunting of the Necromancer proves even the dead have terrible taste in TV.
