    One Thousand Funerals

    One Thousand Funerals

    I met with Colleen Smith a funeral celebrant who's recently guided her one thousandth funeral.  We talk about how she does it and the personal meaning that she's made of her profession.  I also lose myself in Perth's Karrakatta Cemetery in search of interesting and quirky graves and the interesting stories that they tell. 
    I loved making this show!
