Grave Trade
Description: Although some people don't like to think about it, death can be a profitable business. Funeral parlours are one of the industries that can make money off of the aftermath of death. `Grave Trade' follows the 60-plus employees of family-run T. Cribb & Sons, a company that was established in 1881 and operated by generations of the Cribb family. The programme introduces viewers to the funeral conductors, pall bearers, drivers, mortuary technicians and other staffers as they work in an industry that many would not choose to make their career. The show also takes a look at the families who want to give their loved ones the best send-off possible, including spending £20,000 on a gold-plated coffin. Archaeologists who examine burial practices through various periods of history are also featured.
