À propos de cet audio

Most people want to avoid thinking about death, but Caitlin Doughty - a 20-something with a degree in medieval history and a flair for the macabre - took a job at a crematory, turning morbid curiosity into her life’s work. With an original voice that combines fearless curiosity and mordant wit, Caitlin tells an unusual coming-of-age story full of bizarre encounters, gallows humor, and vivid characters (both living and very dead). Describing how she swept ashes from the machines (and sometimes onto her clothes), and cared for bodies of all shapes and sizes, Caitlin becomes an intrepid explorer in the world of the deceased. Her eye-opening memoir shows how our fear of dying warps our culture and society, and she calls for better ways of dealing with death (and our dead). In the spirit of her popular Web series, "Ask a Mortician", Caitlin’s engaging narrative style makes this otherwise scary topic both approachable and profound.

Caitlin Doughty, the host and creator of the "Ask a Mortician" Web series and the collective Order of the Good Death, is on a mission to change the way we think about death.

Ms Doughty herself narrates this book, and I think that makes it better!

This is an uplifting, sad, and often funny look at death, life, and one's own mortality.

Read This Book! Uplifting, Sad, Funny.

I'm morbid myself, so this book was so cool to listen to. the author narrates it beautifully, and I loved getting inside her head and contemplating my own place now and in death. absolutely recommend this, it can be a tad gory if you're squeamish (like my husband)

Funny and Informative

Overall a decent book. Felt like it just suddenly ended though. Like the story wasn’t finished

Interesting story about death

Great narration, from a brilliant mind with a powerful message to not fear the inevitable. Everyone dies. The moment you can learn to respect that and understand it (not just from a religious perspective) and not fear it, will you be able to live a much more free and fulfilled life.

Let's demystify death!

I recently lost both my beloved grandparents in the span of 6 months. I was really struggling to come to terms with it because it was the first major death to happen in my life, so I was not sure how to feel or how to grieve. Listening to this book really helped put things in perspective for me and come to term with the fact that they both were at peace in the end and that’s all I could have ever asked for for them. It’s a grate listen & I highly recommend😊❤️
