| Summary: | Filmmaker Christina Strunk explores the unfamiliar world of the funeral industry. Questioning cremationists, funeral directors, and transportation personnel about their experiences working in a stigmatized profession, the film looks at the stereotypes these individuals face on a daily basis. While the audience is exposed to accounts and experiences of working within the death care industry, the filmmaker allows the audience to observe the entire process of cremation at Gateway Crematory, the largest volume crematory in Southern California. Although the filmmaker plays into the stereotypes set by American culture, over the course of the film these stereotypical views are broken. Death Care: An Unseen World, allows an outside audience to witness what has been kept behind closed doors and visually experience an unknown world.
