It's like NYC knew I had just started a Six Feet Under rewatch.
On October 27, Reimagine End of Life launches a week of talks, screenings, tours and performances exploring how we deal with death and grief. The Halloween-timed event series will hit theaters, museums, libraries, synagogues, churches, tattoo shops and even hospitals (yikes!) with free and ticketed events.
