22 - Certain Death & The Final Makeover
from The Bones and Bobbins Podcast Hosted by Haley Pierson-Cox and Natali Heuss
S02E22: Historical ways to confirm death and the art and science of modern embalming practices. It was really hard for people throughout history to tell exactly how dead the bodies of other people were, so some questionable decisions were made in the pursuit of confirmation.

So we’ve come full circle, it would seem. Show notes: https://www.bonesandbobbins.com/2021/11/12/season-2-episode-22
