Oh Wonderful Fleeting World. When Death Is a Matter of Life
Why does someone choose a life where the dead are present every day? And is there an antidote to the fear of death? Hailey Campbell traveled the world for three years to talk to people whose professions are related to death:...
pathologists, undertakers, agents, funeral directors, embalmers, students, and old gravediggers who have already dug their own graves. She sifted bones and ashes with a crematorium worker, dressed the dead, conducted brain autopsies, visited a cryonics center in Michigan, and worked with a homicide detective. The author discusses the phenomenon of death, answering many unsettling questions that are difficult to ask. After all, the more we know, the less we fear.
