ABOUT
For those born in the second half of the 21st century, scientific advancements come at a rapid pace, constantly redefining daily life. Technology offers new hope for immortality, be it through medicine or more radical means, but funerals remain important social events for increasingly disconnected social and family groups.
With the average life span nearly 100 years of age, the cable Funeral Channel has featured memorial services celebrating longevity rather than expressing grief.
Some older people have chosen immortality via the uploading of their consciousness onto a quantum computer, whereby a virtual version of themselves can contemplate memories forever.
With the science of cryonics showing greater promise, more and more people have always chosen to be suspended and frozen rather than buried or cremated.
