Description
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes And Other Lessons from the Crematorium is a thought-provoking exploration of death and dying from a unique perspective. Caitlin Doughty, a young mortician, shares her experiences as she navigates the funeral industry and grapples with the lives of those she cremates.
As she delves into the world of death and mourning, Caitlin's encounters with the living and the dead reveal a complex and often contradictory relationship with death. This illuminating account offers a fresh perspective on our death rituals and those of other cultures, making the subject urgent and fascinating.
With a mix of bizarre encounters, gallows humour, and vivid characters, this book is a compelling read for anyone interested in the human experience of death and dying.
