Stanley receives a letter from the City of New York Bureau of Real Estate. They issued a eminent domain condemnation notice for a burial plot where his late father is placed. H. R. Bunce (familiar character actor Henry Corden) from the City Attorney's Office comes to the family to discuss the matter. The Evergreen Cemetery is in the way of a runway expansion for the airport and all interned must be moved to a new location. The city offers to pay an appraised $2,000 for the plot. The family now looks for another location to bury their loved one. Stanley finds a new cemetery called Perpetual Greens where their slogan is, "you die, we do the rest." It was a former golf course and the good spots are already taken by the golfers. Stanley manages to find some plots on the sand trap of the third hole that would be covered with AstroTurf. It will only cost $1600, leaving them with $400 to spend on a color television set. But, Stanley forgets his brother-in-law Arthur, which would take the last $400. Arthur wants the color TV set as well and says he'll just be cremated instead, then decides to leave his body to science. The TV is ordered but complications arise when a tombstone is delivered.
