From caring for bodies of all shapes and sizes, picking up corpses from the hospital morgue, sweeping ashes from the cremation machines (sometimes onto her clothes) and learning to deal with mourning families, Caitlin comes face-to-face with the very thing we go to great lengths to avoid thinking about - death.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut as she started to wonder about the lives of those she cremated, and found herself confounded by people's erratic reactions to death, Caitlin's feelings began to evolve in unexpected ways. Now a licensed mortician, Caitlin tells the story of her fumbling apprenticeship with the dead. Exploring our death rituals - and those of other cultures - she pleads the case for healthier attitudes around death and dying. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull of bizarre encounters, gallows humour and vivid characters (both living and very dead), this illuminating account makes this otherwise terrifying subject urgent and fascinating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback | 272 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (cm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.4 x 13.5 x 2.1 | 380g -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 01 Jun 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/strong\u003eCanongate Books\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication City\/Country: \u003c\/strong\u003eEdinburgh, United Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/strong\u003eEnglish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN10: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1782111034\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN13: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9781782111030\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA book that has been read but is in good condition.
