Stew
A passive, deadpan everyman who allows others to control his life without a care. He can feel something is wrong but can’t figure out why. His solution: Good ol’ fashioned suicide. When given the opportunity to put on his own funeral the way he envisions, he finds passion in being someone of importance. Realizing there is potential in this ambitious side of himself, he runs out on his own funeral. Over the course of the film, Stew goes from empty and almost robotic to adventurous and optimistic of the future.
Bud
A Persuasive and amiable businessman with leadership skills, but lacking remorse. As Stew’s confident “best friend”, he is used to making the decisions but sees the potential in Stew’s funeral being a spectacle in which he can partake. So, he helps his friend carry out his vision in any way he can.
Judith
Clear, straightforward, sophisticated, acting as the closest thing to the voice of logic and reason in an absurd society. Judith prioritizes her marketing job highly but is still one of the few to acknowledge the existence of her ex-boyfriend Stew from time to time. Judith, like most, seems unbothered when Stew announces his own funeral, doubtful he’d go through with it ... and she’d probably get over it pretty quickly anyway.
Flamethower person
they carry a flamethrower and have welding masks on, are excited to burn a living person.
Sophie
Dramatic, overly emotional. Struggling to find an acting job in a society fixated on the logical, the majestic Sophie is thrilled to be employed on a production as big as Stew’s funeral as Stew’s grieving fiancée. However, she expertly disguises her enthusiasm with the fake grief she expresses while auditioning for the role and later at the funeral. Nothing can cause her to break character. (Is from the Netherlands, possibly has a Dutch or other European accent)
