What is there to say about a documentary detailing various end of life options? This is a difficult film to watch, particularly since it raises the obvious personal questions. After all, we all pass away at some point. However I did find it to be cathartic to watch.
This film was produced with sensitivity and well done, overall. I had no idea of these alternatives and I am glad that I'm now better educated about this topic. I have never experienced a funeral other than the traditional church viewing/funeral/burial. Knowing there are options available now other than the usual church thing is a relief. Traditional funerals are so unnecessarily dreary!
I wonder why these options were not available historically, and only now? I suppose it has something to do with the funeral industry and making money, but that's my guess and this film never addresses the topic of how "normal/traditional" funerals came to be. I suppose this is something that would have been interesting and useful to explain.
Anyway, this documentary is worth a watch! But you may want some tissues if you are sensitive, like me.
