Thanks for sharing Stuart. This is very timely for me as I just yesterday watched the great documentary 'Obit' which is about the NYT obituary writers. It's a great watch and is not as depressing as one might assume it to be.
Info here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obit_(film)

And you can watch it on Amazon Prime here:
https://www.amazon.com/Obit-Bruce-Weber/dp/B071FN1YW3

It's also available on Kanopy, an app/roku channel that you may be able to access through your local library for free (I highly recommend Kanopy, lots of other great films there as well.)
