Giddy-up folks, we are talking about everyone's favorite topic: DEATH. I loved talking with Kierston about all things death, funeral practices from around the world, grief, and love. Kierston is a library customer services supervisor and loves to read, especially books that teach her something new. You can follow her beautifully curated Instagram: @oursharedshelves For our discussion Kierston chose From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty, a mortician who is fascinated by death. There are so many different funeral and burial practices around the world and this book explores many of them. For our drink we went witha beer: the Rogue Dead Guy Ale, which is delicious and a great choice to go along with the title.In this episode:Ask a Mortician - Caitlin Doughty's YouTube Human Remains Project in Cullowhee NC (Correction: In the pod I misremembered this program being at UNC Pembroke - It's at Western Carolina University.

In time for Día de los Muertos, Polli and Kate discuss a book about what it means to have a "good death" in many places around the world. Through Caitlin Doughty's From Here to Eternity, they encounter death houses, glowing Buddhas, Snow White-esque caskets, revered Angelitos, and more. Join us on an enlightening and surprisingly uplifting journey.  Show notes: https://lplks.org/blogs/post/049-whats-a-good-death-to-you Bookish News: Local bookstore owner, Danny Caine, wins Midwest Bookseller of the Year! If you missed our interview with him in an earlier episode, here ya go! Two Book Minimum: The Library Book by Susan Orlean Death's Acre by Bill Bass She Said/She Said: From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty We all have different ideas of what makes a "good life" -- different measures of success and accomplishment and happiness. The same goes for what makes a "good death," as Caitlin Doughty points out in From Here to Eternity. Known also for her first book, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes: And Other Lessons From the Crematory, and more recent Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? Big Questions From Tiny Mortals About Death, Doughty is a mortician, funeral director, and death acceptance advocate. Polli and Kate talk about "good deaths" and what this means across the globe according to some of Caitlin Doughty's stories. They also talk about their own personal feelings on death and dying, and invite you to do the same in the comments!  “Insist on going to the cremation, insist on going to the burial. Insist on being involved, even if it is just brushing your mother’s hair as she lies in her casket. Insist on applying her favorite shade of lipstick, the one she wouldn’t dream of going to the grave without. Insist on cutting a small lock of her hair to place in a locket or a ring. Do not be afraid. These are human acts, acts of bravery and love in the face of death and loss.” ― Caitlin Doughty What's happening in Lawrence? Paper Plains Literary Festival is coming next spring!

They answer questions like these: What dead person would you resurrect to have a conversation with? What did Teddy Roosevelt’s office smell like? What makes Pet Sematary scary? Does the dead baby sound like a very drunk Mary Kay on helium? What was wrong with he acting in this movie? Why was everything so low-stakes? What makes graveyards so scary?

I am so happy to have Caitlin Doughty as my guest on Episode 4.  Caitlin is a licensed funeral director and the owner of Undertaking LA, a funeral home in Los Angeles.  She is the co-founder of Death Salon and the founder of The Order of the Good Death.  She is the host of Ask a Mortician, which is a highly entertaining series of videos on YouTube (my favorite is the one on Viking burials). Caitlin is also the author of TWO best-selling books – Smoke Gets In Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory, in which she discusses her experience working in a crematory, and From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death, which was published last year. In this episode of Death, et seq., Caitlin discusses what the death positive movement IS.  In this blog post, she explains what the death positive movement IS NOT.   Discussion topics: ⇒   Defining "death positivism" ⇒   What kind of pushback Caitlin receives, and what parts of her message resonate broadly ⇒   How social justice is an integral part of the death positive movement ⇒   Caitlin's relationship with the funeral industry ⇒   What each of us can do to be more death positive on a daily basis For more extensive show notes and to submit questions, please visit our website at www.deathetseq.com.

Caitlin Doughty, a mortician, best-selling author, blogger, YouTube personality, and director of the nonprofit funeral home, Undertaking LA, has long been fascinated by death, what it means to treat the dead with dignity, and why we are so afraid of dead bodies. Her new book, From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death, sets out on a global journey to discover how other cultures care for their dead. With curiosity and morbid humor, Doughty encounters a range of rituals from a grandpa’s mummy being cared for in a family home in rural Indonesia to a Japanese practice of using chopsticks to pick bones from cremation ashes. As many cultures around the world celebrate their ancestors this time of year, join us for a refreshing look at death practices, mourning rituals, and how we might bring life to the way we think about death.

“The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living,” Marcus Tullius Cicero once wrote. Caitlin Doughty has spent her life around the dead. A mortician by trade, Doughty, in From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death travels the world to discover how other cultures care for their dead. She goes to Bolivia to see cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skulls; to Japan to watch relatives of the deceased use chopsticks to pluck their loved ones’ bones from cremation ashes; to Indonesia to watch a man dress his grandfather’s mummified body. Caitlin is joined in conversation with Sonya Vatomsky—Seattle-based author, journalist, and poet who writes about art and death. Together, and with a keen sense of wonder, Doughty and Vatomsky dig deep into death-care innovators who are practicing green burials and composting bodies. The life of the dead is alive, indeed. Caitlin Doughty is a mortician, activist, author, and founder of the death acceptance collective The Order of the Good Death, and the webseries “Ask a Mortician” which has led to features on NPR, BBC, The New Yorker, Vice, The Atlantic, The New York Times, and Forbes. She is the author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes—a New York Times bestseller—as well as From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death, which she will be discussing tonight. Sonya Vatomsky is a journalist, author, and poet living in Seattle. They are a staff writer about art and death at Haute Macabre, and have written for publications such as New York Magazine, Rolling Stone, The Atlantic, Slate, and more. Their book of poetry Salt is For Curing was published in 2015 and is currently on its 5th printing. Presented by Town Hall Seattle as part of the Arts & Culture series. Recorded live at Summit by Town Hall Seattle Friday, October 6, 2017

Mortician, author and activist Caitlin Doughty discusses her new book From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death.  She reveasl how America’s funeral industrial complex overcharges and overregulates how we say goodbye to our loved ones and how funerals went from private family affairs to big business in just a century.  She shares how people around the world honor the dead including villagers in Indonesia who sleep, eat, and interact with their deceased on a daily basis, and high tech innovators are revolutionizing how the dearly departed are remembered in Japan.  She tells of a community in Colorado that forgoes the sterile funeral home cremation in favor of an old fashioned funeral pyre, and a green advocate in North Carolina who wants to compost your corpse.
