A film report by Julian Pettifer which looks at the way we deal with death. The programme is about the social attitudes towards death - the 20th century taboo. Undertakers, who are sometimes considered figures of fun, are interviewed about the stigma attached to their work. The programme also looks at an Irish wake-it seems that death is a different matter in a closed community, where the deceased is known to everybody. The main question the programme asks is whether the rituals attached to death are satisfying. In an increasingly secular society, just how satisfying is the funeral service to the bereaved?
