Glamorous Hayley is an unlikely funeral director. But she is a wonderful one, as this touching film about her work in a Liverpool parlour shows. Her team also boasts Tom the embalmer: “If you were going out to your last party, you’d want to look your absolute best.” Their next client is Marion, a fortysomething who has been given weeks to live, so has decided to plan her own funeral – complete with a vape and a packet of Hubba Bubba in her coffin.
