- Dying is big business. For a long time, however, it was a family business, and no more so than for Blake Sifton. He was born into a family that cares for the dead, and for almost 90 years his family has overseen most of the funerals in a small town in Canada. Blake wanted a different future and decided to leave the family business. As his father is set to retire, the future of the family business is uncertain and Blake feels a strong guilt for not carrying on the family tradition.
