Still Life (2013)

This is all about lonely people living lonely lives and dying alone.  It begins with three funerals, of different faiths, at which there is only one mourner, the same in each case. He is John May (Eddie Marsan), a short, boxy, middle aged man who not only attends such funerals but also arranges them and even writes their eulogies.  This is his job, but it has also become something of a mission, even an obsession. May works for a council in south London where he’s assigned to arrange for the burials of people who die without any relatives or intimates to assist with their passage out of this life. There seems to be a steady stream of such folk, since May has been employed for over two decades. And the government evidently has the funds to allow him to pay for proper funerals, each with a clergyman, music, a good casket and a decent burial--up until when it doesn't.  The second half of the movie is what John May sees as wrapping up his career and moving on.  Enjoyable in a slightly dystopian way.
