00:04 Once upon a time, we knew about death.

00:07 We buried our own.

00:09 We took care of them.

00:12 We knew what to do and how to do it,

00:15 how to perform this last sacred act for those we love.

00:19 But somewhere along the way, we forgot.

00:23 We let death become commercialized.

00:26 We outsourced death, like we outsource so many things

00:30 in life.

00:32 But we lost something along the way.

00:35 We forgot that being present with death

00:37 is so much a part of what it means to be alive.

00:40 Now, we're bringing death back.

00:45 We believe we're ready for it.

00:48 We know death can be life-changing.

00:51 We believe we're brave enough and strong enough

00:54 to deal with it.

00:56 And at Tender, we're changing the culture of funerals,

01:01 letting them be what they were always meant to be--

01:04 a chance to honor, to grieve, to heal, to love, to say goodbye

01:12 in your own way, in your own time.

01:16 Death is so much more than a transaction.

01:19 It's a transformation.
