About this product

Product Information

'Unforgettable . . . a hilarious, poignant and impassioned plea to revolutionise our attitudes to death' Gavin Francis, Guardian From her first day at Westwind Cremation & Burial, twenty-three-year-old Caitlin Doughty threw herself into her curious new profession. Coming face-to-face with the very thing we go to great lengths to avoid thinking about she started to wonder about the lives of those she cremated and the mourning families they left behind, and found herself confounded by people's erratic reactions to death. Exploring our death rituals - and those of other cultures - she pleads the case for healthier attitudes around death and dying. Full of bizarre encounters, gallows humour and vivid characters (both living and very dead), this illuminating account makes this otherwise terrifying subject inviting and fascinating.

    Very interesting to read, really makes you think

    Yes, it's a really strange topic, but reading this book is definitely worth it. It really makes you start thinking about the way we deal with out dead. Unexpectedly it's at times also very funny. I'm very happy I bought this, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's even vaguely interested in death culture or maybe specifically cremations.

    I watch Caitlin on Youtube and find her work fascinating. This book was a great insight into the funeral home business and her journey into it.
