Today is the strange, made-for-Hollywood (and indeed, it was made-for-Hollywood) story of a universally beloved funeral director, Bernie Tiede. A warm, charming man who ingratiated himself in the small town community of Carthage, Texas, with his generous spirit, godly mannerisms, and gorgeous singing voice, Bernie made an unlikely best friendship in a woman several decades his senior, the wealthiest widow in town, Marjorie Nugent.
