All The Living And The Dead
All The Living And The Deadby Hayley CampbellI really enjoyed Hayley’s dive into her interviews with those who work among the dead. One of her most introspective points being those who work in Death often don’t take on the whole of it, instead dealing with a part of death, likely as much as one could handle. Doulas deal with end of life care, while morticians deal with the body for instance. *The audiobook is read by the author.
The Nature of Life and Death
The Nature of Life and Deathby Patricia WiltshireOne of my favorite books. Patricia’s expertise in forensic ecology has led her to solve crimes by painting a picture of the landscape in which bodies may be buried or crimes have been committed. She’s truly dedicated to her work. *The audiobook is read by the author.
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Smoke Gets In Your Eyesby Caitlin DoughtyI first found out about Caitlin through Ask A Mortician. I’ve continued to follow her through The Order of the Good Death. She’s an amazing resource in the Death Community for information and insight.
From Here to Eternity
From Here to Eternityby Caitlin DoughtyHer second book, this one explores the rituals of death across the world. I loved this book so much, especially the Japanese tributes to their dead.
Stiff
Stiffby Mary RoachWhat happens to our bodies after we die? What if we donated them to science or had chosen a natural burial over cremation? Mary Roach goes into the details about all the paths our bodies could take once we kick the bucket. I loved the details about The Body Farm, and the truth about what donating your body (organs or otherwise) really means.
