Interesting topic to read about, especially as someone who plans on working in the death industry (coroner to be exact)
The author skillfully delivers fun and humorist stories that deal with such a taboo subject: death.  I love how the author provides criticisms of the industry and actually talks about solutions and changes she wants to make to help solve what she thinks is a problem.

"Sifting through an urn of cremated remains you cannot tell if a person had successes, failures, grandchildren, felonies."

challenging emotional inspiring reflective

4.5

Content warnings only due to the fact that the whole book is about death and our perception of it. Caitlin approaches all topics with honesty and care.
