If you're trying to decide between this and Stiff: pick this.

If you're trying to avoid whole chapters about dead babies: don't pick this.

Absolutely beautiful book looking into every step of the industry from death to burial/cremation. Didn’t know that there were still people creating death masks, so that was interesting. Has also helped me realise a few things about my own interests in the industry.

Needed to process this a bit before saying anything but this was a beautiful book. As someone very interested in death and all that goes with it, I really enjoyed this. Not a lot of books can make me tear up but this one got me... a lot. I'll be thinking about this one for a while.

i appreciated the topics covered in this book, and i found it really well written and easy to understand

i kind of have to agree with some of the lower reviewers that i would have preferred less of the author’s opinion (the points where she seemed to argue with her interviewees- especially the executioner- really irked me)

i am not a nonfiction enjoyer LOL but i tried to rate this without the bias of like,, not enjoying nonfic very much so i think that my feelings on it were generally neutral
