The Cemetery Club tells the story of three widows who meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husbands’ graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life, Lucille is a feisty embodiment of the girl who just wants to have fun, and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene. He meets the widows while visiting his wife's grave. The climax of the story comes when the three women stumble back from the wedding at 2 a.m. drunk and full of honesty.
