The Funeral Industrial Complex
from Communist Plot Hosted by Phoebe & Elizabeth
We're back! Kicking off our 2021 season with a discussion of the 1950 article "Status After Death" by William M. Kephart which takes a look at class distinctions within funerary proceedings and customs in Philadelphia. We follow that up with a more recent article that's a good companion piece, "The Difficult Business of Dying" by Jess Bergman, which talks about the modern Funeral Industrial Complex.
