From IMDB:
A detective leaves the force to take over the family business as an undertaker at the same time as he is being investigated for murder. His close encounters with corpses and his earlier police training lead him to see things some of his ex-colleagues miss and he investigates the crimes he encounters in an unofficial capacity often to the dismay of he official police.

MYSTERY | SWITZERLAND | GERMAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES |
Luc Conrad used to be a police detective. Now he’s an undertaker, whose job is usually to comfort and console the bereaved. But as soon as Luc starts to suspect foul play, his inner sleuth takes over – and so do the headaches for his ex, Inspector Anna-Maria Giovanoli.
“Der Bestatter” is the German title which means “The Undertaker”.
Four seasons can be streamed from MHz Choice. Each episode is about one hour. Season 1 offers 4 episodes, whereas the following 3 seasons each offer 6 episodes.
Although these episodes are not grim, not violent, and are fairly easy viewing, nonetheless from time to time a body or face can be hard to look at (for example, a burning victim). Luc has a young male assistant Fabio who can only be described as weird.
For another review visit previously.tv in which we learn “the Alemannic Swiss German dialect spoken in Aarau is not understandable to most Germans.”
Easy to watch.
