[Ep. 29]: I Won't Be At My Funeral

from Shirin All The Things · host Trever Shirin and Bry Shirin

So… have you ever thought about what kind of funeral you’d want? Because we have. And honestly? We have very different ideas.In this episode of Shirin All The Things, we take a deep (but also weirdly fun) dive into planning our own funerals. Trever is all about the liturgical lament—leaning into the grief, sitting with sorrow, and embracing the sacred weight of loss. Meanwhile, Bry is ready for a celebration of life, complete with good food, happy memories, and maybe even a tree planted in her honor. We also talk about why caskets are weirdly expensive, why spreading ashes might not be as poetic as books make it seem, and how grief rituals can actually be an act of kindness for the people we leave behind.It’s a little morbid, a little philosophical, and (of course) filled with plenty of laughs. Join us as we get way too deep about death and somehow make it an episode you’ll actually enjoy.Hit play and let’s talk about all the things!
