Karl embarks on a thought-provoking exploration of various cultural perspectives on death. His journey takes him to Ghana, where he shops for a personalized coffin and experiences his first funeral alongside a vibrant parade. In the Philippines, he interacts with a community that coexists with the deceased, while in Taiwan, he learns the art of mourning from a professional mourner. Finally, he returns to the UK to construct a memorial. However, the closing segment of Karl Pilkington's Sky One travel series, filmed in the Philippines, is cancelled due to the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan.
