rich 1.0 What Happens to a Body After Death? Mortician, author and death care reformer Caitlin Doughty joins Joanna Ebenstein for a candid, curious and surprisingly funny conversation about what really happens to our bodies after we die and why modern Western culture would rather not think about it. From Caitlin’s early days working in a crematory to founding Order of the Good Death, they explore death positivity, funeral industry myths, human composting, bone rituals and the strange ways we hide mortality from view. Are we the weird ones in history when it comes to death? And what might change if we looked at it directly? 📢Listeners!
