Very interesting to read, really makes you think
Yes, it's a really strange topic, but reading this book is definitely worth it. It really makes you start thinking about the way we deal with out dead. Unexpectedly it's at times also very funny. I'm very happy I bought this, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's even vaguely interested in death culture or maybe specifically cremations.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Brilliant eye opener
As someone who is I interested in working in the funeral industry, this book is a great eye opener. I brought this after watching some of Caitlins YouTube videos and her humour translates brilliantly!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Apt and humourous.
Written so well and sensitively yet with humour and fun. The subject matter is controversial for some but the book dispels any myths about death and opens up the subject for debate and thought.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
