Ceux qui vont au paradis
A worker dies after falling from the top of a building. With no relatives, his remains are left to the cemetery administration who then relegate them to the medical school. On his way to Heaven, his file is blocked because he does not have a burial certificate. He is sent back to earth as the undead to complete his burial procedures.
