All the Living and the Dead

An absolutely fascinating look at life after death — the lives of all those who deal with the aftermath of death. The author speaks to all sorts of people in the “death industry,” from morticians to crime scene cleaners, and also learns a lot about her own response to death.

The audiobook is read by the author, who does an excellent job. It makes her personal journey hit just that little bit harder, I think.

I would recommend this to fans of pop-science like “Stiff” by Mary Roach and year-in-the-life bios like “The Year of Living Biblically” by A.J. Jacobs.
