Last Respects (2023)
After death, most people’s lives are honoured via a series of funerary rites and traditions. Sadly, thousands of Canadians, from homeless youth to neglected seniors, die in such dire circumstances that their bodies are never claimed--let alone honoured. Montreal priest Father Claude Paradis believes that all lives are worthy of respect. So in 2014, he created an annual ceremony to celebrate the lives of the “unclaimed.” Thanks to Father Paradis’ compassionate gesture, these people are granted a final moment of dignity.
