The new courtroom drama on Prime Video is based on the real story of Jerry O'Keefe and Willie E. Gary, but how much of it is true?
The Big Picture The riveting courtroom drama The Burial directed by Maggie Betts just dropped on Prime Video and stars a formidable tandem of Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones in dual headlining roles. The story about the Mississippi-based funeral home director named Jeremiah "Jerry" O'Keefe who decides to take on a large funeral company called The Loewen Group and hires personal-injury-lawyer-turned-contract-law-attorney Willie E. Gary feels like it is based on real people.
How Do Jerry and Gary Come Together in 'The Burial'? In 1995, Jerry O'Keefe ran into some financial hardships operating a medium-sized funeral home and burial business. He had nine separate homes but was getting hit with capricious state laws and bureaucratic red tape that put him in a bind. His wife Annette asks him to sell a portion of his company in order to relieve their financial stress as they are set to retire and will need the savings.
