Movie Screening
Free Screening – “In the Parlor: The Final Goodbye”
Free Popcorn and Film
Rejecting the mainstream tradition of hiring funeral professionals to care for the deceased, families in search of a more personal and fulfilling way to say goodbye are taking an active role in caring for relatives who have died.
Both a critical look at the American relationship with death and an inquiry into the home death care movement, In The Parlor: The Final Goodbye takes viewers on a journey where very few have gone, and challenges us to reflect on this uncomfortable subject, which so often is hidden away and ignored.
The full length feature runs about 80 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and up.
