Why would anyone choose to live a life in which the dead are present daily? And is there an antidote to the fear of death? Haley Campbell spent three years traveling the world to talk to people whose professions involve death: pathologists, undertakers, agents, funeral directors, embalmers, students, and old gravediggers who had already dug their own graves. She has shoveled bones and ashes with a crematorium worker, dressed a dead person, performed a brain autopsy, visited a cryonics center in Michigan, and worked with a homicide detective. The author talks about the phenomenon of death, answering questions that many people are uncomfortable asking. After all, the more we know, the less we fear.
