This is a beautiful collection of the author's recounts of her travels, constantly questioning why we have this separation and fear of our dead. It was a short but interesting overview of how a few different cultures remember, celebrate, and care for their community members in death practices. The way we (speaking from Australia) treat death is so sanitised, this book feels hopeful in challenging some of our psychological blocks surrounding it.
I for one, can't wait to disintegrate into human compost.

She's very respectful, and the humor was refreshing and enjoyable but definitely don't take this as a super academic source.
PS. (Just because I won't sleep otherwise) La Santa Muerte is NOT a feminist icon and/or LGTB+ icon in Mexico; trust me, I've lived here all my life.
