The Casketeers

It made me laugh, it made me cry, and Francis' girlish giggle is infectious. It really puts the fun in funeral and makes the whole process of dying less frightening. I especially liked the bits with "Nona" - she's a wonderful character.

I don't know if the first reviewer actually SAW any episodes, but my wife and I think it's a lovely show. Death comes to everyone, and it's nice to see the concern these people have for the deceased and their families. We especially enjoy the added cultural level that comes from this being in New Zealand. If you pay attention, you will see that there is never any egregious display of the bodies. I hope the reviewer is able to come to terms with his feelings about death before he has to deal with it himself.

We will all die. We will all lose loved ones too. This program shows a family, co workers and friends that truly care about their business and the families that they help through the process of losing a loved one. It not over morbid nor is it overly silly. They love their work and they care about the grieving process. It's never easy when dealing with death and to see the wonderful interaction these people have with their community is very touching.

It's always interesting to see how other cultures deal with the death of one of their own people. We can always learn about other people in the world when it comes to rituals, beliefs and customs. I really enjoyed this show. It was not only informative but touching to see real people deal with real events, loss of a loved one. I hope that all people, including children watch this. It takes the unknown out of death and it shows the many ways that people deal with grief.

But I really like this show. It's not morbid or disrespectful. I never thought I would like a show like this but I do. It's a view of how respectful a planned or unplanned goodbye can be. Sometimes it's hard to see families paying there respect on the loss of a young person. But it's part of the circle of life. Why not show how things can be done?

I wasn't sure how I would feel about this show, but it was raw emotion, immensely respectful, touching and even little glimpses of humor done in such a touching way...2 seasons done in 2 days. Beautiful
