The romantic comedy “Over Her Death Body” concerns a woman who dies on her wedding day. After her death, she becomes a kind of ghost who haunts her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend, a psychic.

This movie is clearly an example of the “My Death” attitude as discussed by Phillipe Ariès. The woman who dies finds out she has unfinished business in the world and that is why she is still there. Therefore, the biography of her life is laid out and there is a sense of judgement about her deeds in life. The personalization of the woman’s death is the subject of the movie, which is also a characteristic of the “My Death” attitude. The last main characteristic that binds the movie to this death mentality is the way heaven and hell are portrayed. The overall conclusion is that one should be prepared for death in order to go straight to heaven. Otherwise, one might go to hell or to the world 'in between', as the main character of the movie experiences.

Overall, the death mentality as described by Ariès is clear in the movie by the judgement of the biography of the main character's life, the personalization of her death, and the importance of preparing for a ‘good’ death.
