Gates of Heaven (1978)

Directed by Errol Morris

“Death is for the living and not for the dead so much.”

Documentary · 1h 23m

A showcase of workers in the animal burial industry while dealing with heavier existential questions regarding mortality and the afterlife. Floyd 'Mac' McClure believes that a graceful burial is as important for pets as it is for people; he chronicles his struggles to keep his niche business afloat, and interviews several of his associates and one of his competitors, the manager of a rendering plant.
