Overview

Billy looks at some of the people for whom death is big business, as well as opening up about his own father's passing and how he himself would like to be remembered. In the concluding part of the documentary, Billy continues his very personal but life-affirming journey with a visit to the premier Jewish memorial in Los Angeles, a pet graveyard in San Francisco and finally takes a tour around his own favourite cemetery in his native Glasgow.
