DEATH IS OUR BUSINESS

JACQUELINE OLIVE | DIRECTOR, PRODUCER & WRITER

During the pandemic, Black New Orleanians have had to adjust how they say goodbye to their loved ones, improvising centuries-old burial rituals while contending with the disproportionate impact of the coronavirus. Death is Our Business takes viewers inside two Black-owned funeral homes in New Orleans and follows funeral directors and staff grappling with new pandemic restrictions, as they work to safely prepare the deceased and bring comfort to a grieving city.
