À propos de cet audio
Most people want to avoid thinking about death, but Caitlin Doughty - a 20-something with a degree in medieval history and a flair for the macabre - took a job at a crematory, turning morbid curiosity into her life’s work. With an original voice that combines fearless curiosity and mordant wit, Caitlin tells an unusual coming-of-age story full of bizarre encounters, gallows humor, and vivid characters (both living and very dead). Describing how she swept ashes from the machines (and sometimes onto her clothes), and cared for bodies of all shapes and sizes, Caitlin becomes an intrepid explorer in the world of the deceased. Her eye-opening memoir shows how our fear of dying warps our culture and society, and she calls for better ways of dealing with death (and our dead). In the spirit of her popular Web series, "Ask a Mortician", Caitlin’s engaging narrative style makes this otherwise scary topic both approachable and profound.
Caitlin Doughty, the host and creator of the "Ask a Mortician" Web series and the collective Order of the Good Death, is on a mission to change the way we think about death.

In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, Doughty blends her mortician’s knowledge of the body and the intriguing history behind common misconceptions about corpses to offer factual, hilarious, and candid answers to 35 distinctive questions posed by her youngest fans. In her inimitable voice, Doughty details lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn colors during decomposition? And why do hair and nails appear longer after death?

Fascinated by our pervasive terror of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty set out to discover how other cultures care for their dead. In rural Indonesia, she observes a man clean and dress his grandfather's mummified body. Grandpa's mummy has lived in the family home for two years, where the family has maintained a warm and respectful relationship. She meets Bolivian natitas (cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skulls) and introduces us to a Japanese kotsuage.

For two thousand years, cadavers have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. They've tested France's first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure, from heart transplants to gender reassignment surgery, cadavers have been there alongside surgeons, making history in their quiet way.

Dame Sue Black is an internationally renowned forensic anthropologist and human anatomist. She has lived her life eye to eye with the Grim Reaper, and she writes vividly about it in this book, which is part primer on the basics of identifying human remains, part frank memoir of a woman whose first paying job as a schoolgirl was to apprentice in a butcher shop, and part no-nonsense but deeply humane introduction to the reality of death in our lives. It is a treat for CSI junkies, murder mystery and thriller fans, and anyone seeking a clear-eyed guide to a subject that touches us all.

Michelle Williams, an attractive young woman with close family ties and an active social life, describes her first extraordinary year in her unusual new job as a mortuary technician. It’s a year in which, with innate good humour, she encounters death at its most tragic, bizarre, and hilarious. Her tale, neither gruesome nor sad, is enlivened by a range of colourful and eccentric characters, from pathologists and coroners to hospital porters and undertakers, giving us a glimpse of life - and death - that few of us will ever experience.

Read This Book! Uplifting, Sad, Funny.
Ms Doughty herself narrates this book, and I think that makes it better!
This is an uplifting, sad, and often funny look at death, life, and one's own mortality.

Helped me through a tough time
I recently lost both my beloved grandparents in the span of 6 months. I was really struggling to come to terms with it because it was the first major death to happen in my life, so I was not sure how to feel or how to grieve. Listening to this book really helped put things in perspective for me and come to term with the fact that they both were at peace in the end and that’s all I could have ever asked for for them. It’s a grate listen & I highly recommend😊❤️

Let's demystify death!
Great narration, from a brilliant mind with a powerful message to not fear the inevitable. Everyone dies. The moment you can learn to respect that and understand it (not just from a religious perspective) and not fear it, will you be able to live a much more free and fulfilled life.

Funny and Informative
I'm morbid myself, so this book was so cool to listen to. the author narrates it beautifully, and I loved getting inside her head and contemplating my own place now and in death. absolutely recommend this, it can be a tad gory if you're squeamish (like my husband)

I love Caitlin Doughty!
I've been a fan of Caitlin's about a year on YouTube. She's very good at making death sound inevitable, and that it's a good thing. This book is one of the best I've had the pleasure to enjoy. Caitlin has a very comforting voice, with excellent diction and pacing. This book is great to listen to while doing chores, or even while falling asleep. Recommend more than I can say.

Fourth read, first time as an audiobook
I fall asleep listening to audiobooks of something I've read before so I'll be familiar with it already and won't be so engaged that I can't fall asleep.
Caitlin Doughty did a BEAUTIFUL job narrating this and I'm so glad I bought this! I adore this book. It really makes me think, and having Caitlin read out her own story made it that much better. I'll definitely be using my credit next month to buy From Here To Eternity!
