Australian-Produced Short Explores The Morbid Art Of Making Dead Bodies Beautiful


Here’s a look at the delicate process of preparing a dead body for a funeral. Warning: Watching this video will force you to confront your own mortality. But at least it shows that while death may not be pretty, what you leave behind can be.

Produced by Patrick Abboud from Australian tech news show, The Feed, this short documentary about a mortician is really touching. You don’t want to think about what’s going to happen to you when you die. But it’s weirdly comforting to know that someone with precision skills will wash your hair and dress you up so that you look sharp on your way out.

Then again it’s really hard to press play, isn’t it? [The Feed]
