And then we ate potato soup in the mortuary, she says and laughs. That's the way it is, when someone dies, life goes on. We like to avoid the subject of death and saying goodbye. After all, who wants to deal with the end when there is still so much to live for? 15 people from three generations have confronted their own transience and asked: burial in the ground or at sea? Funeral feast or party? Verdi or Spice Girls? Definitely music! Because no matter what death looks like, one thing is certain: the past life must be celebrated.
