Just saw this film at the Milwaukee Film Festival and was truly impressed. I had already opted for my body to be composted (with another company) before seeing the movie, but now hope more people will consider it. The staff, and really the stars of the production were so open, sincere and caring. And kudos to the families who allowed their stories to be told and followed throughout the process. Thank you.
