This step-by-step program takes the myth and mystery out of the process of dying and death itself, and presents both as biological and clinical realities. An 82-year-old terminally ill patient and those who provide palliative care witness the death process. Cameras also venture behind the closed doors of a mortuary to shed light on the scientific and commercial aspects of death, including body preparation, embalming, and cremation. (49 minutes)
