"A group of rebellious, creative Kiwi seniors give death the finger, one crazy coffin at a time. Musical and documentary unite to introduce The Coffin Club, a truly unique community organisation bringing free-spirited seniors together to construct and personalise their own low-cost coffins. Based in small town New Zealand, with over 60 active members, this group of inspirational elderly meet once a week to rejoice in life while facing the realities of death. The warm and humorous story enters a lively community of seniors who live life as if each breath was their last." Director: Briar March, Producer: Kim Harrop


I LOVE THIS! When I saw this video for the first time, I laughed so hard I had tears pouring down my face and was gasping for air. To me, this incredible group of people represent the attitude I wish we could all take when planning for the inevitable. Why run away from it? You can run but you can't hide. If you embrace and plan for your end of life, much of the unknown becomes known, meaning there is less uncertainty to fear.
