Death & Mourning

from Know What I Heard? · host knowwhatiheard

Courtney Lane, a historian, Victorian hair artist, and professional weirdo, joins me to discuss death and mourning. Courtney explains how the handling of a body and the grieving process have changed over time and other options for disposing of a body (other than cremation and burial). We also chat about why it's so expensive to die, why it's important to be clear about our final wishes, and why we feel the need to rush through our grief.
