Celebrity Send Off is a ground breaking and provocative social-first branded entertainment series that aims to get the nation talking about their funeral wishes. Commissioned by Channel 4 in partnership with Co-op Funeralcare, the three-part series sees famous duos take part in a unique experiment to organise a pretend funeral for their celebrity counterpart.
The couples taking part include Happy Monday’s Shaun Ryder and Bez; Gogglebox’s Marcus Luther and his wife Mica Ven; and national treasure Kriss Akabusi and his daughter Shakira Akabusi. After seeing what they could be in store for, the celebs open-up an honest conversation about how they’d like their funeral to run one day.
Celebrity Send Off debuts on Channel 4’s YouTube channel, whilst shorter edits of each episode will be released across Channel 4’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. The series will also be available on Channel 4’s streaming platform.
