How To Die S01E02 - The Cemeteries Manager

Sean O'Connor and Susan Brice

Download

Growing up, Susan Brice wasn’t exactly dying to become the boss of cemeteries in our city or any other, but it’s something she’s extremely good at.

Susan is very down to earth, in a community of cemetery managers addicted to puns and in-jokes. Yet ask anywhere, and people will tell you that in the charged emotional context of death and loss, it’s Susan’s intensely practical, compassionate and humane demeanor that makes her such a good ally.

With refreshing clarity and dispassionate understanding of the challenges we face locally and globally, she provides insight into the practical aspects of death and burial we would do well to heed.

There’s only one place in the city you can book a plot ahead of time - listen to find out where!

How to Die S01E01 - The Spiritual Counselor

Sean O'Connor and Peter Fox

Download

Peter Fox is a trusted insider, someone who encapsulates a worldly-wise attitude toward death that’s good for life. He’s inspiring, naturally warm and generous, and sincere with an impish twinkle in his eye. Peter has the soul of a poet and the hairstyle of a successful troubadour.

An ordained priest, pastoral counselor and therapist, Peter facilitates life rituals and provides spiritual companionship for people at the end of their lives, as well as counseling for grief and loss.

He’s also a couples therapist and marries people, which means that he’s frequently busy on the weekends, and continually exposed to platters full of catered food. Still, he remains in good shape.

Peter is a wonderful friend and mentor. Time with him is well spent.
