On Death introduced by Chantal Cuer.
Would you like to choose your own coffin? Is a cemetery the right place to build a restaurant? Why paint a mausoleum pink?
Tonight's film, Necropolis, is a haunting, sometimes wry look at death and the rituals that surround it.
In the villages of Sicily, customs are strictly adhered to, while in Rome, traditional burial grounds have given way to hi-tech cemeteries. The film also visits the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland, where the rites of mourning, unchanged for centuries, have been challenged by the modern world.
