Sometimes funny, often sad and difficult, this was such an amazing read. It absolutely is not for the faint of heart, but if you can, I would highly recommend it.

3.5

3.5 rounded up. I definitely enjoyed this. I am a novice to this genre and topic so this might be skewed based on that alone. Her perspective is what made this book fascinating for me. She paid attention to the people in the fields of study and their reactions and lives, not just the processes (however also amazingly fascinating). <Spoiler> I especially loved at the end when she talked about how every person in every profession was separated and usually took issue with a profession in another step of the process. <Spoiler> Overall this is interesting and enjoyable information for me. I learned a lot. If you enjoy this topic this would be a book to gain not just information, but human perspectives from all sides of the industry deal with death. 

There are VERY heavy triggers in this book, including a chapter focused heavily on child/infant death and the last portion of the book repeating reactions to said chapter. Please read with awareness and self care 💜

3.0

While I had my moments of doubt with this book, mostly due to my concerns of it having the potential to be exploitative towards highly emotional topic, I think it was an overall really worthwhile read. There were some chapters I really didn’t love (the crime scene cleaner particularly), but there were more that I appreciated then those I didn’t. It’s an interesting exploration of the way some cope with the inevitability of death
