In a statement on its website, Fat Rat Films said: “Across six years the feature-length documentary, The Business of Death, follows Gary as he builds a funeral business with his best friend Wayne, overcoming the odds to become the heart of his multi-faith community in South London.

“Then Covid-19 hits. As the bodies pile up around them, Gary and Wayne are forced to question how they – and the rest of the world – will cope with the business of death in this brutal new reality.”
