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
This is just a great show. It's a unique series and I find is getting better with the progression of the series. You quickly fall in love with the characters. They're gifted in their profession.
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.

I came across this on Netflix and since I'm currently in the process of planning my father's funeral arrangements, I figured I'd bite the bullet and see how other people deal with grief. I was pleasantly surprised at how detail oriented these group of funeral directors are. They take pride in their work and you can see that they are proud of the work they do. Additionally, as someone with a Hispanic background death is treated/seen differently. It's great to see how other cultures keep their traditions alive and how they have intertwined western cultures to their native/indigenous traditions. Overall, it's a great educational show and it's very tastefully done in a way where the privacy of the deceased and their families is respected and maintained.
