Crashing funerals was supposed to be simple. Look sad, fill a plate, and blend in long enough to slip away unnoticed. For Kayden, Carmine, Tash, and their friends, it started as a joke and turned into a ritual. A casserole here, a pep talk there, and an unspoken promise to show up where grief had hollowed out the room.

Then they step into the wrong service and discover ties that cut far deeper than polite small talk. Old family names resurface. Secrets press against the walls. A chance meeting stirs something dangerously close to love. Suddenly, what was once performance becomes survival, and the game of pretending gives way to questions none of them can dodge.

Funeral Queens is a big-hearted queer novel that mixes outrageous humor with startling sincerity. It is about the friends who become family, the families we thought we lost, and the stubborn truth that even in the strangest places, connection is possible. Perfect for readers who crave wit and heart in equal measure, this is a novel that will leave you laughing, aching, and holding on a little tighter to the people who matter most.
