The best-selling author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with “dignity.”

“Fascinated by our pervasive fear of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty set out to discover how other cultures care for the dead. From Here to Eternity is an immersive global journey that introduces compelling, powerful rituals almost entirely unknown in America.”

If you are a fan of Ask a Mortician, Order of a Good Death, Undertaking LA and Caitlin Doughty – you will love her latest book “From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death”  On sale now!

As a long time fan, I was lucky to hear her speak at the Chicago Humanities Festival.

Just as enthusiastic in person as she is in her YouTube videos, she and book illustrator, Landis Blair were a delightful pair signing many, many items after their talk with fans.  I personally hope she can bring a Death Salon to Chicago!
