Subtitled:
A Lively Tour of the New American Way of Death.
Time writer Cullen explores some of the stranger customs emerging around death, including modern mummification, green burials, and even making diamonds out of your loved ones' cremains. Well written, and includes lovely sidebars about each person's life and death (inspired by Vows in the NYT, according to the author). Reminded me in the best way of
Susan Orlean.
