Descripción: The present study analyses the way in which Six Feet Under (2000-2005) created by Allan Ball
is a visual account of the so-called �American way of death�. Following some of Mitford�s (1963)
ideas concerning the funeral as a non-event, while commenting on the particular evolution of
the funerary ritual, as stated in Ariès� (1981) works, this study tries to illustrate these theories
with various scenes taken from Six Feet Under. On the television show Allan Ball criticizes the
American funerary industry, depicting it as an example of commercialized death where there is
no place for the living to mourn the dead.
However, the Fisher & Sons funeral home is a place where rituals have not yet become sterile
and empty. Therefore, in Six Feet Under it is still possible to grieve and mourn, which contributes
to the healing process not only of the individual, but also of a nation, especially after the 9/11
attacks, as we shall see.
