In a community saturated by talk of babies and marriages, British Asian bereavement is curiously complicated - and often ignored.
Family, religious and cultural issues make each passing unique from the mainstream and brings in sharp focus the generational expectations that can cause further heartache at a time of sensitivity.
Fresh To Death is out to change that.
Restaurateur Saima Thompson is living with a terminal diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer and filmmaker Maleena Pone lost her teenage brother to leukaemia and father to a sudden heart attack.
Together, they explore their own perspective of being British Asian women dealing with death - and speak to others with a range of unique perspectives, from will writing to funerals, mental health to cultural traditions.
