I love how chatty this book is. I want to go to brunch with Caitlin Doughty.
A very quick read! Doughty answers a host of questions about death, all asked by children (and probably adults too - I know I certainly learned a lot!). Written in an honest, easily digestible (and non-pandering) tone with her signature dry humor and stark yet comforting realism. I’m definitely going to share this book with my kids, and I’m glad I gave it a read myself.
Interesting and informative
Interesting and informative as well as amusing. It's a subject we all have to deal with and.go through at some point. All the questions are from children and answered in an understandable way that isn't to grim however it is what it is so there is a certain amount of inherent grimness that comes with the turf.

absolutely fun to read for non-fiction books. how the writer brought absurd seemingly question and answer it scientifically just amazing. the language too, not so serious but answering seriously.
The author (a mortician) uses loads of humor to answer tough (and sometimes ridiculously silly) questions about death, cremation, burial, etc. Maybe not suitable for really young kids but its hilarious for adults. (But dont eat while reading... it can get a little gross.)

This book provided entertaining and informative answers to questions about corpses, funerals, and the law. I found the questions asked by the kids to be well-selected and pretty entertaining. The author's ability to seriously research the answers to the odd questions is what really makes this book.
It's a good book to read through at odd moments. I didn't try reading it straight through.
