If you’re seeking a unique and thought-provoking way to explore the deep, often unspoken aspects of life and death, Mortality Movie Nights at French Funerals & Cremations is an event you won’t want to miss. Hosted by Gail Rubin, a well-known death educator and advocate for bringing death out of the shadows, Mortality Movie Nights offer a safe, open space for reflection and discussion on life’s most inevitable topic: death.
The next installment of this engaging series will take place on March 11, 2025, at 6:30 PM at the French Funerals & Cremations reception center at 10500 Eubank Blvd. NE in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The evening will feature a film famous for its iconography of death in the form of the Grim Reaper, which resulted in satirization in other films and television programs.
The night promises more than just a movie. With free popcorn and chocolate served, guests can enjoy a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for conversation. Whether you’re contemplating life’s big questions or simply appreciate classic films, Mortality Movie Nights provide a unique opportunity to connect with others in a relaxed setting.
Studies show people will remember information in a film or TV scene 30% better and longer than information simply conveyed by a speaker. The setting in a funeral home also provides the opportunity to talk with the staff about real life (and death) issues of concern.
This event is free and open to everyone, regardless of background or beliefs. It’s a chance to reflect, share, and learn more about the topics that often remain under the surface of everyday life.
So, if you find yourself in Albuquerque on March 11th, join us at French Funerals & Cremations for an evening of cinema, reflection, and engaging discussion. It’s more than just a mortality movie night—it’s a step toward embracing the inevitable with open hearts and minds. Questions? Call Gail Rubin at 505-265-7215.
