Summary:

South Africa has seen a dramatic rise in both AIDS- related deaths and in the number of funeral parlors. Shot in Soweto, this film shows two very different funeral homes, one large, top of the line and very experienced, the other new and tiny. Saturday burials interfere with each other, as simultaneous ceremonies go on in crowded cemeteries.
