Overview: How would you act and react if your parent egged you on to quit a profession wherein your safety and well-being are not only guaranteed but whereby you are mandated to ensure the safety and welfare of others?

Such is the watershed moment in the Buryin’ Barry Mysteries.
Barry Clayton is the featured protagonist in the Buryin’ Barry Mysteries. For starters, the said title of the series, Buryin’ (or Burying) Barry, denotes the pet name given to Barry Clayton by his schoolmate thanks to the renowned local funeral parlor run by his family, which was still offering funeral services in their neighborhood. This series, which revisits the dark underbelly of operating funeral homes, is authored by American man of letters Mark de Castrique. Incidentally, the author’s real-life workplace inspired this series and specializing in the mystery niche; de Castrique transitioned from a hospital to, just like in the fictitious story, working in a funeral parlor, wherein his father served as its funeral director.
Protagonist Barry Clayton, who is in his thirties, has different occupations, sometimes simultaneously, at various times in the Buryin’ Barry Mysteries. First and foremost, he has had a stint as a police officer in the Charlotte Police Department. Secondly, his father prompts him to quit the police force, after which he becomes a mortician in their family-owned funeral parlor; located in Gainesboro upon North Carolina, the parlor is called Clayton & Clayton. Even then this is an occupation which brings about distress and occupation hazards in its train. Career blues aside, he is a part-time sheriff and, moreover, a detective by virtue of sleuthing the various gory incidents in the mountainous community.
