''The Undertaker'' was the third series produced by prolific {{Western}} writer Terry Harknett under the psudeonym George. Gilman. The central character, Barnaby Gold, a.k.a. The Undertaker, makes his first appearance in ''Black as Death'' (1980), when he kills the rancher who murdered his libidinous wife. In subsequent books, he finds himself hunted by relatives of the deceased, who constantly frustrate his plans to leave the United States for Europe. Gold appeared in six books altogether, and made a fleeting appearance in the final, ultra-rare ''Literature/{{Edge}}'' novel, ''The Rifle'' (1989).

As may be guessed from the series title, Gold was an undertaker before going on the run. One quirk that sets him apart from other gunslingers is that he insists on personally burying anyone he kills.
The books in ''The Undertaker'' series are:
# ''Black as Death''
# ''Destined to Die''
# ''Funeral by the Sea''
# ''Three Graves to a Showdown''
# ''Back From the Dead''
# ''Death in the Desert''
!!Tropes in ''The Undertaker'' novels include:
* CouldntFindALighter: Crossed with MoneyToBurn in ''Black as Death''. Barnaby sets fire to the bag of cash the townsfolk gave to pay for burning down his business and uses the bag to light a cheroot. Of course, as he uses a match to set fire to the bag, he is doing it to make a point.
* TheGunslinger: Barnaby Gold
* MoneyToBurn: Crossed with CouldntFindALighter in ''Black as Death''. When the townsfolk hand Barnaby a paper bag full of cash to pay for burning down his business, he sets fire to the bag and uses the burning bag to light a cheroot.
* OutlawTown: Gold finds himself trapped in an outlaw town in ''Funeral by the Sea''.
