bodies dead deceased dreams mortuary sleep

Charlotte is a funeral director/mortician. She lives a lonely life, in which the only friends of hers are the dead she sees when she sleeps. At first she was a skeptic about spirits existing on earth instead of going to Purgatory, Heaven or Hell. However, her strange dreams and whispers in the night convince her that there is an afterlife.

How many spirits will it take to convince her that the afterlife on earth is real?

(I got the inspiration to write this after reading a majority of Caitlin Doughty's book, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Other Lessons From the Crematory")
