Felix Bush (Robert Duvall) is a hermit who has no regard for anybody in the
town or anyone who wants to get to know him. But one day, after a fellow
old hermit as died and he hears people in the town telling stories about
him, he decides that he needs to get these stories out in the public. He
recruits Frank (Bill Murray) the local funeral home director to host his
own funeral. This way he can hear what everyone is saying about him, and
get the truth to his past out in the open. But will he be able to get
anybody to come? And will he be able to reveal his secrets?
It's the 30's, and in Caleb County the loathed hermit, Felix Bush, offers a
large amount of money to the local Rev. Gus Horton to organize his funeral,
but the preacher refuses the request. Family man, Buddy Robinson overhears
the conversation and talks to his boss Frank Quinn. They decide to visit
Felix and offer him the services of their Funeral Home. Felix requests a
funeral party and invites anyone that has a story to tell about him.
Furthermore, he offers his three hundred acre land up as a prize in a
raffle. When Felix asks Buddy to drive him to Illinois to see Rev. Charlie
Jackson, Buddy learns that Felix has a painful secret and need the help of
his friend to disclose it to the population.
