Death is still the most mysterious natural state for people. In this book, Caitlin Doughty explains things that are embarrassing to ask even a funeral director: what will happen to the body of an astronaut who died in space? do Siamese twins die at the same time? Is it possible to arrange a Viking-style funeral for grandma? do nails and hair grow after death? Even if such questions did not come to mind before, now you will definitely want to know the answers to them.
