Finais alternativos: Seis novas maneiras de morrer nos Estados Unidos

This movie explores how various people said no to the traditional "funeral" and did things a little differently. Celebrating life WiTH your loved ones, not being embalmed, choosing yo go out on your own terms. Listening to a child's thought on what a funeral should be - hint: it includes bounce houses!

Compelling, thoughtful, rejoiceful- you may even find yourself rethinking the way "normal" death is.

I didn't really know what I was expecting when I recorded this documentary.

What I do know is, it gave me more options to think and ponder over.

I hadn't even thought of nor even heard of 3 of the options.

I'm definitely going to be doing some more research on a few of these Alternative Endings.

I'm glad I watched it, even if I did have to pull out a few tissues.

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.
