BEING DEAD SHOULD BE EASY follows a Millennial woman who has a breakdown at her great-Aunt's shiva when she learns that not only is there no room left for her in the family mausoleum, but what's worse is that everyone else already has their afterlife planned – making her feel behind in life, and in death.

It's a story about identity, family, and the deeply human journey of figuring it all out.
