This week, we’re talking to You Tube sensation, small town mortician, and (most importantly) Catholic dad of four, Victor Sweeney.

Over the past five years, Sweeney (33) has unexpectedly built a loyal following online for his penetrating insights about about death, dying, and the moments of grace made possible by both. He first began sharing that wisdom during Covid, in a series of uber viral videos for Wired. Since then, he has launched a You Tube channel, a podcast (“Death And …”), and written a book with Simon and Schuster, Now Departing: A Small Town Mortician on Death, Life, and the Moments in Between. Now, he’s sharing his wisdom with us in a fantastic conversation that we hope you enjoy as much as we did.
