Description

Death is not a fixed point, but a natural part of life. For Rupert Callender, it was a personal journey that led him to become an undertaker. In "What Remains?", he shares his story of challenging traditional funeral practices and finding new ways to say goodbye to loved ones. Callender's experiences as a punk undertaker have taken him to unexpected places, from the windswept beaches of Devon to the pubs where coffins are served with a pint. He has also explored the intersection of grief, death, and spirituality, drawing on his own experiences and the world of rave culture and ritual magick. This book is a profound and moving exploration of life, death, and the human experience. It is a story about finding new ways to navigate the end of life, and about the power of compassion and courage in the face of loss.
