GOOD Magazine Presents: The Business of Death

GOOD Magazine commissioned Alejandro Cardenas (director) and Daniel Cardenas (animator) to create a really cool animated video about “The Business of Death”.

Throughout the developed world the business surrounding death has often been an uneasy topic of discussion. Originating in the mid-19th Century, the modern funeral has evolved into an economic and cultural monster, with a vast network of supporting industries and myriad options for your earthly remains.
