As a former ER nurse who also worked on an ambulance, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, I am not a stranger to death and it‘s many forms. I found this book very interesting and found it eye-opening as well in terms of the many fields and workers in the death industry. I think this is a great read, especially for those that aren‘t frontline workers or already working with the dead.
pickA fascinating look into the lives and careers of those that deal with death and dead bodies. It makes a great companion to Mary Roach‘s Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers.

Growing up, my parents worked in a funeral home, so I had a different view of death than others around me at the time. Reading about other jobs that deal with death on a daily basis was fascinating, and I thought the author did a great job choosing a varied group of people and jobs to explore in this book.
This book is difficult at times to read. Even the author has trouble at one point, and I appreciated her honesty.
Absolutely beautiful book about those that care for us after we‘re gone. Highly recommend! #scarathlonphotochallenge #skeleton #bones #blackcatcrew

pickI really enjoyed this book. Of course it reminded me of Mary Roach‘s Stiff, but it was quieter and more genuine. The author meets people of various professions related to death. I can‘t say I learned a ton, but the profiles and time the author spent interviewing and in some cases observing the job duties being performed captivated me.

pickCampbell grew up hearing about death, as her dad helped write and illustrate a book about Jack the Ripper. She was always curious about the dead, and in this book she talks to people who have made their livings working with the deceased.
She doesn‘t hold back any gruesome details or about her emotional reactions. If you‘re as curious as she was on this topic, I highly recommend this book!
