New Video: Business Of Death

  • Posted by: Andrew Price
  • on October 29, 2007 at 1:26 pm

We’ve made a new video on the funeral industry.

“Throughout the developed world the business surrounding death has often been an uneasy topic of discussion. Originating in the mid-19th Century, the modern funeral has evolved into an economic and cultural monster, with a vast network of supporting industries and myriad options for your earthly remains.”

Happy Halloween!

UPDATE: Psych! The video was up for a second but we had to take it down to iron out some last minute details. It’ll be back soon.

In the meantime here’s a little Halloween History from National Geographic.

UPDATE: Sorry for the trick. Here’s the treat: the video’s back up.
