:03:36. > :03:40.of his head is literally covered in this thick blue

:04:23. > :04:30.done have been young. You know, if you've got children,
:04:31. > :04:41.and I've got two boys as well. But Nick says a death mask helps
:04:42. > :04:44.some people deal with their grief. When somebody dies,
:04:45. > :04:46.their loved-ones are still alive. They'll look at the photograph,
:04:47. > :04:48.whatever, they'll have a weep. It is not three-dimensional,
:04:49. > :04:56.it does not have any weight. Some people take the death
:04:57. > :05:00.mask to bed with them. They wake up in the morning,
:05:01. > :05:02.roll over and bingo, But they are tremendous cathartic

:05:39. > :05:42.in Highgate Cemetery. It was made while his body lay
:05:43. > :05:47.in a morgue in Chalk Farm. My exact thought, I walked in,
:05:48. > :05:49.wow, that's Malcolm, Nick's masks can cost
:05:50. > :05:59.upwards of ?2,000. The Highgate Cemetery Trust
