Karl travels first to Ghana, where he shops and orders a custom made coffin. Here he attends his first ever funeral and becomes more involved than he anticipated. From here Karl travels to Taipei, Taiwan and hires a professional mourner and accompanies her as she performs at a memorial service. Karl then travels to Philippines to experience what it would be like for the dead to buried amongst the living and takes part in a exhumation. Karl becomes involved in the difficult task of erecting a coffin in the cliffs. Finally Karl travels to England and receives the coffin that he ordered in Ghana, and proposes an alternative approach to remembering the dead - a bin memorial.
