Growing up, Owens felt like an outcast for his interest in death and its rituals. Today, however, he is beloved for a gentle, practical approach to "homegoings" at a time when discussions of death are taboo and the undertaking profession dominated by impersonal big business. Venturing behind the scenes of a much feared and misunderstood field, this moving film examines the rituals of African American funerals and the approach that Owens takes to his craft, one of the few that black Americans could enter into freely after slavery. Combining cinéma vérité with personal interviews, Homegoings paints a portrait of Harlem's the dearly departed and the man who serves them.

Homegoings Movie Review | |
| Homegoings, Christine Turner's exquisitely tender documentary about a funeral director, is one of those rare opportunities to go toward the thing we fear most - death - and realize how much joy and comfort there is in it, when handled with grace and care. Hank Stuever-Washington Post | |
