i'm an instructor at a morch ray college, and i teach thanotology for a bachelor programme. All my students are funeral directors or im bombers - really interesting crowd to be able to teach. And one of the first assignments in the choruss they have to tell me about their upbringing and how they deal with death and dying. A lot of them never actually talk or talked about death and dying with their families. There'd be dead bodies downstairs in the funeral home, but they never really, really talked about it. I think that is the most healthy thing that any family can do, is just have a real conversation about death and Dying.
Hoooo boy. We're all up in death and dying's bizness and to Alie's shock, it's not a bummer. Confront and perhaps OVERCOME existential anxiety as we discuss not only the science of death but the nature and goddamn beauty of life. Everything from burial methods, the latest in eco funerals, what a funeral director hates most, how gnomes die, and how to regret less. Meet your new favorite thanatologist and oddly, get the guts to be the you you want to be.
