A Family Undertaking (2003)

Before the Civil War, preparing the dead for burial and funeral rites generally fell to friends and family members of the deceased. The 20th century saw the rise of the professional undertaker, a trend that changed American attitudes toward death and distanced grievers from their loved ones. This eye-opening film uncovers a growing movement advocating a return to a more traditional, personal approach to honoring the dead.

Educational. Made me really re-think our culture's whole idea of death. I think there is something in a home funeral. When I lived in Cape Verde, the dead stayed in their homes for so many days while the loved ones visited and said good-bye. I don't recall ever seeing someone with a deep depression after losing a loved one like we have here in this country. For some reason the US culture wants us to not deal with our emotions and act like our loved ones are somehow still around and bring buried....instead of dealing with or emotions and helping us to cine to terms with the fact that the body is just a shell. Our loved one is not there. And I think I've decided I definitely don't want to be embalmed. What for??

This documentary about burying your own family members ala "do it yourself" is not going to be for everyone - however, it brings a good point that it IS something that IS an option in most states if you should so choose to do, and not only will you save $5-10 grand, you can (if so desired) have a more personal, "right of passage".
