*This program contains content that may concern some viewers*In this five part series, Compass goes behind the scenes of Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and secular funerals. We enter privileged territory to share religious rites and rituals practised in 21st century Australia.Death is the journey we all eventually take. But how do we carry our loved ones on their final journey? How do we honour them in death? And how do we grieve? We cross over into privileged territory to stand beside closest kin and share their intimate moments, to get a picture of death, as it's done in 21st century Australia.In this episode a Sydney group of Pentecostal Ghanaians celebrate and dance for the deceased; and a do-it-yourself secular funeral: no God or grief allowed.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Comnpass Executive Producer: Rose Hesp |
