Description

For most of us a funeral is traditionally a modest, somber affair, but there are some families who are prepared to go above and beyond to ensure their loved ones go out in style.

Warm, funny and surprising, this film explores some of the UK’s most extraordinary final goodbyes. Taking weeks to arrange and personalising every last detail, it will look at how some people choose to go all out in this last act of remembrance - celebrating a life rather than mourning a loss.

But having everything you want for a funeral can come at a cost. From a fleet of luxury limos to a £20,000 gold plated casket; if you can imagine it, the funeral world can provide it.

With access to some of Britain’s top funeral directors, this film explores the challenges they are faced with as they organise some of the biggest funerals of their careers. Often with only days to turn around these huge scale events, they are pulling out all the stops and have only one chance to get it right.
