An insightful read, is how I would describe the experience. The chapter describing the author's meeting and interview with the bereavement midwife left me teary-eyed.

There is a section of the book about miscarriages, stillborns, and baby deaths and how a death midwife helps those families dealing with this.

Highly recommend! Must read for anyone that’s been interested in the death industry. 
Each chapter details a first hand account and interviewers with different fields in the death industry. One chapter may be about embalming, while the next one is about death masks.
