I like talking about uncomfortable things. It's why I have this podcast-so that I have a space to be able to explore topics that might make some people feel uncomfortable, but are typically things we should be talking about more often. Today is no different.
Today I want to talk about death. This isn't the first time I've covered this topic. In fact, WAY back in 2020-even before the world shut down in a pandemic-I talked about death with three other incredible women. Here is a link to that episode, it's great!
2020 Death Episode
So it should come as no surprise that I jumped at the opportunity to interview my guest today.
Rupert Callender has been a self taught, self proclaimed “radical” undertaker for the past 25 years, bringing unlikely influences such as acid house, crop circles and the counterculture on what remains an extremely patriarchal and increasingly corporate industry. His stripped back immersive approach has led to him being declared “the best undertaker of all time, by a country mile” by The Good Funeral Guide. His company, The Green Funeral company is in the UK and his memoir, “What Remains? Life death and the human art of undertaking” has been optioned by Working Title to turn into a TV drama.
