FACES OF DEATH

Today, our attitudes towards death are changing. And the choices we make for ourselves after we die have become yet another way to express our individuality.   A mortician who believes in the healing power of embalming… a young woman who has chosen a tattoo made from ink containing her father’s to ashes... a company who will help you postpone death by freezing you… a family who is digging their father’s grave before he has died... Faces of Death tells the stories of people who've found a way to accept death as a natural part of being alive.
