AMC’s zombie series "The Walking Dead" is at the center of a controversy after a billboard for the show went on display next to a funeral home in the U.K., reports EW.com’s InsideTV blog.

The billboard is visible to people coming to the business to make funeral arrangements, the story says. One resident of the town said, "There must be somewhere else they could put it that would have shown a degree of insight and sensitivity.”

Clear Channel apologized for the placement and said it didn’t intend for the "unfortunate juxtaposition," and that it has since taken down the billboard, the piece adds.
