Death ends a life, not a relationship.
- Mitch Albom
Humans have lusted after immortality for as long as they have existed on this planet. But mortality is inescapable and death is inevitable.
Fade to Black is a documentary series of five portraits of different professionals entrusted with the last leg of a person’s journey. We meet a palliative care nurse, a vigil volunteer, a funeral director, an embalmer and a volunteer remembrance photographer, to underscore the importance of talking about death educated and with a sense of humour.
Each of these end-of-life providers shares their thoughts on existential questions regarding mortality and the afterlife. The series also touches on the typical trajectory compassion fatigue takes as these professions involve prolonged exposure to the trauma of others.
In a culture that is still uneasy talking about death, dying and bereavement, this five-part series explores mortality salience and serves as a reminder that death doesn’t end a relationship or erase a person’s existence.
No matter how long or short it is.
A Viddsee Original Production
Directed by Joy Lee (Singapore)

Synopsis
“Why do we hush a baby’s death like it’s something to hide?” Through her volunteering, one photographer has come to realise the magnitude of importance a single photograph takes in the healing process. The photograph helps to confirm the parental identity, that even though the baby has died, they are still parents. And it validates that their baby’s life, no matter how brief, was a life.

My son Brendan was born still on January 21, 1995. The hospital took two Polaroids of him, along with the blanket he was wrapped in, and his footprints. It was back when the movement began toward acknowledging the importance of a stillborn baby's existence, instead of telling the parents to "just forget about it". We've come along way. I wish you could have photographed my precious baby, but am so glad you are doing this for other families. Thank you 💕

Such true words "All life, not only the long-lived, but the briefest life should be celebrated and remembered." To lose a loved one hurts - whether they are 90 years old or newborn. Bless you for helping the families during such a difficult and painful time. Thank you so very, very, much. 💔🙏👼💖💖💖

I would have loved to have you take photos of my son, me, and my husband when he passed. The hospital took 2 photos of him and put together a box with little hand prints, a clay mold of his feet, the fake flowers that were in the photos and a lock of his hair and his baby hat. I was very grateful of them to do that for us. And I still have it today. But I really wish that we had photos of all 3 of us together ❤ 😢 I had his sisters after loosing him. My oldest was born exactly a year after him and they share the same birth month, January, his is January 3rd, 2008, and her's is January 9th, 2009, my youngest daughter is July 26th, 2010. So yeah I was pregnant for 3 years. We send off balloons on his birthday every year and say a prayer for him 🙏 💖💕

Although I have never experienced such grief as loosing a child, I thank you for doing such a emotionally challenging job. You appear to put your heart and soul into your work and you also have a great deal of empathy for the families. Thank you.
