Den Tod muss man leben

For me, a funeral is a celebration of life. Angela Fournes, the funeral director, is more familiar with death than almost anyone else. At the age of thirteen, she experienced the unnatural treatment of the deceased when her father died in the USA. Seven years later, she accompanied her dying mother on her final journey in Switzerland. As a death companion and funeral director, she learned how much fear dissipates when one talks about death. Honestly, empathetically, and with surprising ease, she now shares what happens to the deceased in other cultures, what occurs in the various stages of dying and shortly thereafter, and how she supports the dying and their loved ones beyond the moment of death.
