In Episode 2, Lorna and Dan are joined by comedian, actor, director and writer Stuart Laws for some very funny if not slightly grubby, inappropriate death-y chat.
(The episode includes some in-depth sex chat and might not be suitable for the young or infirm!)
In the episode, we discover Stuart's very exclusive funeral guest list and we also uncover the possibility that Stuart has "won" It's your Funeral and that we no longer need to carry on (spoiler alert -we do carry on!)
Stuart might also win the award for the most random eulogist.

Guests include tv comedy actors, sitcom writers, renowned television writers, stand-up comedians and recent Edinburgh fringe performers.
In Episode 1, Lorna and Dan are delighted to be joined by Australian comedian, writer and BAFTA nominated actor Sarah Kendall. Sarah has already spent most of her life worrying about her eventual demise and so this experience was just one more depressing nail in the coffin (so to speak!)
Sarah relays her unique interrogation methods with her pre-teen children, the singular dancing event that shaped her entire career and her desire to have her eulogy delivered by a puppet
Warning! Some extremely funny content in this episode.
