Our guest today is <a rel="nofollow"href="https://www.thomaslynch.com/">Thomas Lynch</a>, a poet and undertaker who practiced for years in a small town in Michigan. I first met Thomas when he visited UC Berkeley in the late 90’s after publishing his book, “<a rel="nofollow"href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-undertaking-life-studies-from-the-dismal-trade-thomas-lynch/8845276?ean=9780393334876">The Undertaking: Stories from the Dismal Trade</a>.”</p> <p>We cover a wide range on this topic, weaving in our own stories of loss with Thomas’s experiences, stories, and poems from years of caring for families after their loved one’s have died.</p> <p><strong>We cover:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <p>The cultural shift from grieving to celebration, the “disappearance” of the body and death from funerals</p> </li> <li> <p>The power of viewing the body and participating in preparing the body, including cremation</p> </li> <li> <p>The costs of funerals </p> </li> <li> <p>The story of why Thomas became an undertaker</p> </li> <li> <p>A strong response to Jessica Mitford’s scathing critique of the American Funeral Industry published in <a rel="nofollow"href="https://www.amazon.com/American-Way-Death-Revisited/dp/0679771867"> “The American Way of Death”</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Our own experiences with funerals and burial arrangements for our loved ones</p> </li> <li> <p>Shifting practices, with a majority of people being cremated after death, a dramatic increase</p> </li> </ul> <p><br /> This podcast was like therapy for us. And I got to sing Tom Waits’ Time, one of my favorites. </p> <p> </p></div></span></div><div class="seeMorebtn seeMorebtn_up"><img class="img"
