Product details

How do you transport overweight corpses from the top floor to the street? How do you handle the shocked relatives? And how do you get the bones into the urn? In her deeply moving memoir, Caitlin Doughty shares her unique experiences through a mix of humorous and bizarre scenes. It's a powerful plea to stop letting our dead disappear behind a curtain of fear and taboos. When 23-year-old Caitlin Doughty begins her job as a crematory operator, her first task is to shave a corpse. At the Westwind Crematory, she quickly becomes an expert who does not shy away from any task. In her wonderfully candid and ironically written book, she opens our eyes to how we deal with the dead. She reflects on the history of death and describes what happens to corpses in other cultures.
