For nearly 20 years, a small group of women in Brighton (UK) have been changing the way people look after their dead, supporting them to participate during the ritual of care after death and empowering them to create personal ceremonies that reflect the life that the deceased lived.

Robert Smith of The Cure re-recorded a new string quartet arrangement of ‘Pictures of You’ exclusively for the documentary after watching 15 minutes of material at the early stages of production.

Please note, several people died during the making of this film.
