The Celebrant: A Conversation with Dorry Bless

The Celebrant: A Conversation with Dorry Bless
These ceremonies are not just for the benefit of the community; they help us to orient ourselves, give us perspective, and provide us with reassurance when we face new roles and challenges in life.

The Great Majority

The Great Majority
"When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth." - George Romero

A loving and meaningful expression by the survivors is facilitated, not just sold, and the value of the funeral director is his or her ability to offer experience and ideas, not just products.

In Heaven, Underground

In Heaven, Underground
In Heaven, Underground, documents the lively continuing history of Berlin-Weissensee, the largest active Jewish Cemetery in Europe. The engaging work of award winning director and producer, Britta Wauer, this film beautifully portrays the joys and sorrows of Weissensee through the lives of people intimately involved in the past, present and future of the cemetery.

In Case it Rains in Heaven: An interview with Photographer, Kurt Tong
"I initially considered it just a superstitious practice but I now believe it’s a great tradition which makes the grieving process just that little bit easier."

Silent Souls

Silent Souls
