Death Boom

Death Boom is scheduled for release on June 9, 2026. The film is described as a spiritual follow-up to Fin and focuses on the death care industry in the United States, using the viewpoints of workers within that industry as its central lens. The documentary examines the physical and psychological toll of embalming, cremation, and traditional burial on the deceased, their families, and the workers who carry out these processes. It also addresses the political, religious, and corporate forces that the filmmakers say obstruct the legalization and wider accessibility of greener burial methods. The backdrop is the anticipated death of approximately 77 million baby boomers, a demographic shift the film presents as a stress test for existing death care infrastructure and policy.
