She is the creator of the Ask a Mortician web series the founder of the death acceptance collective The Order of the Good Dead and co-founder of Death Salon.Author 1 Caitlin DoughtyBook Description Unforgettable . . . a hilarious poignant and impassioned plea to revolutionise our attitudes to death Gavin Francis GuardianFrom her first day at Westwind Cremation & Burial twenty-three-year-old Caitlin Doughty threw herself into her curious new profession. Coming face-to-face with the very thing we go to great lengths to avoid thinking about she started to wonder about the lives of those she cremated and the mourning families they left behind and found herself confounded by peoples erratic reactions to death. Exploring our death rituals - and those of other cultures - she pleads the case for healthier attitudes around death and dying. Full of bizarre encounters gallows humour and vivid characters both living and very dead this illuminating account makes this otherwise terrifying subject inviting and fascinating.Editorial Review A zingy fresh and possibly even important book about death . . .
