That we will all die is an unavoidable fact. Yet what happens to the body after death is still one of the most popular search terms. Part of Life went behind the scenes of Family Tree Funerals to discover more about the after death process. From funeral options to preparing the body, the role of children and the importance of ceremony, these two films sensitively explore what happens to a body after death and the importance of making plans whilst we’re still alive.

We all have a digital footprint. Be it on social media, via music downloads, gaming avatars, voicemails, photos or email. But what happens to all of these digital touchpoints when someone dies? We interviewed James Norris, founder of the Digital Legacy Association to help answer some of the most important questions about how to manage our digital legacies. 

Wayne de Leeuw, ex-palliative care nurse and CEO of Dorothy House Hospice interviews writer and palliative care specialist Kathryn Mannix about societal taboos, hidden mourners, NHS palliative care integration and the potential for adopting the wisdom and death literacy of diverse communities.

Ahead of the UK premiere of More than Ever, we caught up with Cannes award winner, Vicky Krieps to discuss death literacy in Hollywood and the power of film to change our perceptions of death and dying.
