Seems like they are really covering it:

They didn't even tell the truth on the episode guide!

Episode Two
The Fun In Funeral
Saturday 19 April
9.05pm ITV1
With Ned’s special gift still unclear to Chuck, she seeks more answers to Ned’s ‘special touch’.
Ned avoids answering her questions like “Why it is only one minute?” and “What happens after one minute?” That’s because he fears that she will discover that he inadvertently killed his father when they were children as a result of him bringing his mother back from the dead.
Private Investigator Emerson Cod receives another strange death case at the Schatz Funeral Home where Ned brought Chuck back to life.
This time they are to investigate the death of the Funeral Director, who died as a result of Chuck staying alive for longer than one minute.
Chuck continues to question Ned about why this murder is different from the others and Ned, not wanting to keep anything from Chuck, tells her about the consequences of keeping someone alive for more than one minute.
Chuck realises she is only alive because the funeral director died.
Pushing Daisies
Episode One
Our story begins in the beautiful fairytale world inhabited by Ned and Charlotte “Chuck” Charles. They are childhood sweethearts but Ned’s idyllic life is blighted by his special gift.
His mum collapses in the kitchen and when Ned touches her she comes right back to life. It was the same with his beloved golden retriever Digby. He got hit by a truck and Ned returned him to the town of Coeur d’ Coeurs.
But for every person returned to life another must die. Chuck’s dad dies just after his mum is brought back to life. He falls stone dead on the lawn.
Fast forward to the present day and Ned opens The Pie Hole restaurant. It’s a unique place but doesn’t make much money. One day a private investigator called Emerson Cod sees Ned bring a man back to life.
He puts a proposition to him and cash-strapped Ned accepts. Then they take on the unsolved murder case that will change their lives and bring them a new partner.
