Undertaker is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by Irish gangster Patrick McReary via phone call after the mission Blood Brothers.
Packie calls Niko about the death of one of his brothers (either Francis or Derrick depending on who the player chose) and asks him to attend the funeral at Suffolk Church on Liberty Lane, Suffolk. Niko decides to go.
Mission Objectives[]
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the church and attend the funeral
- Help Packie fight the Albanian hoods
- Get in the hearse
- Drive Packie and the hearse to the cemetery
Walkthrough[]
The funeral song playing during the mission.
Packie will call Niko and tell him to wear a suit (which can be purchased at Perseus). He also informs him of Gerry's incarceration. Kate will phone the player a few minutes later asking if Niko will be attending the funeral. Once the player has a suit, they must head over to Suffolk Church for the funeral.
After the funeral, when the guests are gathered in front of the church, they will be attacked by three waves of four Albanian hoods coming in cars from both sides of the street and from the middle alley. The player must eliminate them all before they destroy the hearse carrying the deceased.
Packie seems to join the shootout, however the enemies will not take any damage from Packie. Also there's a chance some cops will also join the gunfight with Niko against the Albanians, but, like Packie, the cops deal no damage to them.
After eliminating all of them, the player will have to drive to the cemetery (varies on who Niko had killed in the previous mission; Colony Island Cemetery in Colony Island for Francis and Dukes Cemetery in Steinway for Derrick). As soon as the player sets off, one last car of Albanians will launch at their pursuit. They'll again have to protect the hearse and if the back door detaches or opens, the player will have to watch their speed so the casket doesn't fall out.

Trivia[]
- This is the only chance to get a Romero in the game. If the player killed Francis, immediately after completing the mission, the Romero can be seen driven away flanked by two black Washingtons. By drawing a weapon, then immediately killing the pedestrian driving the Romero away by firing through the rear windscreen, the Romero is free to take. If the player killed Derrick, immediately after the cutscene by the graveside is finished, the player will be standing facing the Romero, which is about to drive off. If the player runs after it at this point he/she should have enough time to get by the passenger side of the vehicle and carjack it. Upon driving it to one of the player's safehouses, more Romeros will begin to spawn in traffic, making it possible to get more than one Romero if one spawns in traffic near the player's safehouse.
- In the scene after the shootout when Patrick McReary tells everyone to head for the cars, if Francis was spared in Blood Brothers he is seen driving the first car, but if Derrick was spared he will not be seen driving the car as it is driven by an NPC.
- If any of the guests' cars are damaged in the firefight, they are automatically repaired by the time the player reaches the cemetery.
- The player cannot phone Francis in this mission to reduce their wanted level. Although if Niko is dating Kiki Jenkins, the player can call her to reduce the wanted level if Niko is at a high enough level with her.
- The mission's name is an alternate term for a mortician or funeral director.
- If Dwayne was spared in The Holland Play (assuming players have completed that prior to this mission), his backup cannot be used during the gunfight with the Albanians. Calling for his backup simply goes straight to his voicemail.
- Even though this mission is given by Packie, it gives progression to Francis' mission stats instead of Packie's, despite his last mission being Blood Brothers.
- Some time after this mission is completed, Kate will call when the "Weekend at Florian's" is also completed.
- It is possible to have the Romero repaired at a Pay 'n' Spray if it has the back door open and the casket is about to fall out. Also, the player could lose the cops this way if they still have a wanted level.
- If the coffin lid is lost during the car chase, the corpse of either Derrick or Francis can be seen.
- In the beta, this mission originally took place at night.[1]
- Strangely, no cops arrive in the initial shootout. During Francis's funeral, 4 cops can be seen sitting in the pews. During Derrick's funeral, there are none, although Francis is present and does not call for backup or help Packie and Niko fight off the Albanians. In both instances, it would make sense if the other funeral attendees called for the police.
- If Francis was killed, Niko will decide to sit next to Derrick. But if Derrick was killed, Niko will avoid Francis and chooses to sit on another bench.
