informative reflective medium-paced

 This book discusses the career of Caitlin Doughty, who works in the underappreciated field of mortuary science. One of my favorite things to do is visit cemeteries, the older the better, and see the amazing history and design that these places have. I think a lot of people are morbidly curious about what goes on behind the scenes in funeral homes and crematoriums, as well as curious why people are drawn to that particular profession. I have been wanting to read this book for a while, and I was lucky enough to catch it on Audible Plus. I listened to it during my shift at work, which has become a great way to pass the day and not listen to a particularly obnoxious coworker I have. This was around six hours to listen to, but the book is around 300 pages if you are interested in that format. Overall, it was a pretty enlightening book, and I appreciated the humor of the author as well.
