To Embalm The Deceased Is A Last Act Of Service For Their Afterlife // Viddsee Originals

Death ends a life, not a relationship.
– Mitch Albom

Humans have lusted after immortality for as long as they have existed on this planet. But mortality is inescapable and death is inevitable.

Fade to Black is a documentary series of five portraits of different professionals entrusted with the last leg of a person’s journey. We meet a palliative care nurse, a vigil volunteer, a funeral director, an embalmer and a volunteer remembrance photographer, to underscore the importance of talking about death educated and with a sense of humour.

Each of these end-of-life providers shares their thoughts on existential questions regarding mortality and the afterlife. The series also touches on the typical trajectory compassion fatigue takes as these professions involve prolonged exposure to the trauma of others.

In a culture that is still uneasy talking about death, dying and bereavement, this five-part series explores mortality salience and serves as a reminder that death doesn’t end a relationship or erase a person’s existence.

No matter how long or short it is.
