Join us for a conversation with Caitlin Doughty, mortician,
bestselling author, and advocate for death acceptance. Hailed by The New York
Times as "a relentlessly curious and chipper tour guide to the
underworld,” she’ll discuss reform of Western funeral industry practices and
much more with Mark Bazer (The Interview Show).
Caitlin Doughty is a mortician, advocate, and
bête noire of the traditional funeral industry. Her educational webseries
"Ask a Mortician" has been viewed almost 250 million times and her
three books were New York Times bestsellers - Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, From
Here to Eternity, and Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? She founded a Los Angeles
funeral home as well as the funeral reform collective The Order of the Good
Death, which spawned the death positive movement.
Mark Bazer is host and creator of “The Interview
Show,” a talk show in a bar. Aired on Chicago's PBS station, WTTW, and filmed
at The Hideout, it features conversations as substantive as they are
entertaining.
