FRONTLINE profiles Thomas Lynch, a poet and undertaker whose family has cared for the dead in a small town in central Michigan for three generations.

In an intimate and revealing film, Lynch helps makes sense of the ways Americans cope with death, grief, and life.

Reviews:
"Lynch is a thoughtful, literate man who shares his reflections on death and dying in a film that doesn't shrink from observing the dead, while also reminding us that death is a universal experience. Recommended." - Video Librarian
