Location

Independent Funeral Establishment

Funeral Parlour (including Back Room)

The funeral parlour facility, arriving in early morning chill, consists of a dim main viewing area dominated by polished oak caskets lined in rows like waiting sentinels, and a narrow back room where daily operations take place. Late-arriving sunlight slices through venetian blinds in the main area to paint parallel bars of dust-moted light across the reception counter where Martin conducts business with rigid formality. The air carries the scent of polished wood, aged carpet, and disinfectant in both spaces, with the back room featuring morning light through frosted glass panels, a worn wooden desk with ledgers, and a workbench with embalming tools. The Doctor's presence unravels the facility's sterile order, particularly when he asserts control over caskets—first in the main area, then in the back room—making the polished brass handles gleam under Martin's nervous scrutiny and Welshman's long shifts.
