Synopsis
Death has such a variety of forms and fashions, from leopard-patterned coffins to quiet graves. This documentary explores a group of women in Brighton, UK, who help people to come to terms with the deaths of their loved ones. This group is trying to change the way in which people think about death, and challenges the traditions of the exploitative and expensive funerary industry. The film follows three deaths and the way in which their families choose to pay homage to these people's lives and mourn their deaths. Produced and Directed by Rehana Rose, this documentary explores the lives of Cara and Sarah, two funeral directors who live with death almost everyday, Peter, a priest who has planned his funeral since a very long time and others.
