About this movie

This quirky documentary explores the dimensions of grief people experience over the loss of a pet. With interviews from grieving pet owners, veterinarians, psychologists, sociologists, religious scholars, neuroscientists, and the professionals who preserve and re-purpose a pet's body for their devastated clientele (including taxidermy, cloning, and mummification), "Furever" confronts contemporary perspectives on attachment, religion, ritual, grief, and death, and studies the psychological and physiological bonds that form between humans and animals.
