About Much Ado About Death

From the publisher's feed

Hi, I’m Talia. For 2.5 years, I worked in Funeral Service. During that time, I realized that people have a LOT of questions about this subject. Sometimes, they have questions that they feel weird about asking, especially in front of people. Did you ever wonder what happens when someone dies? Logistically, spiritually, ritually, physically, financially…? Do you have weird questions that you were too embarrassed to ask? Wonder no more! Email me your questions ([email protected])! In every episode, I will delve into listener questions and I'm not an expert, but if I don’t personally have the answer, I will get it from one of my funeral director friends! I will also unpack death related subjects in movies, television and in other forms of media.
