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.

    This book arrived in much better than "good" condition as described in the listing: I'd say "new and unread"! Excellent value, postage included in the price. Professionally packaged in recyclable cardboard and brown paper, very promptly dispatched and delivered via Royal Mail Tracked: 2 days purchase-to-delivery, so thanks for using Royal Mail ~ I always recommend them. Am very pleased with my purchase and happy to recommend this seller. Buy with confidence! Many thanks and best wishes, CJ.

    SpeedyHen are a really classy eBay seller in my opinion. Have bought from them before with no issues. Always good on delivery and packaging. One of two items purchased this time had an issue (likely from the factory) and SpeedyHen were very quick to resolve and communication was always excellent. Will always buy from these guys when the right item comes up. A firm favourite.

    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.

    All 3 of this series from The Order of the Good Death are marvelous, they can be a little repetitive as some go over the same customs etc. but overall such a great and easy read for ALL AGES

    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.
