The Undertaking

FRONTLINE: The Undertaking

Thomas Lynch, 58, is a writer and a poet. He's also a funeral director in a small town in central Michigan where he and his family have cared for the dead - and the living - for three generations. For the first time, Lynch agreed to allow cameras inside Lynch & Sons, giving FRONTLINE producers Miri Navasky and Karen O'Connor rare, behind-the-scenes access - from funeral arrangements to the embalming room - to the Lynches' world for this film, The Undertaking.
