On Becoming Lava Lamps

Cancer for Breakfast

Alternative Death: it’s not just an underground music genre! We’re talking death rites, honeys, so cover your mirrors! Whether you’ve prepaid for a satin lined coffin or you’re a green-curious pre-deceased, we’ve got hot tips on the right heat for human composting. Stef also has the score on death doulas, aquamation (not just for cadavers anymore!), and a dinner date to detail your death wishes. Pass the salt! Amy’s ready to bring her “living graveyard” idea to market—maybe even in her own yard (is that legal? We’ll let you know). In any case, there’s no escaping the inevitable, so why not learn about options before you’re one foot in the grave? There’s no sugar coating this one, so if you’re feeling death-shy, skip it, with our love. However, we promise this conversation is 0% sad and 100% interesting.
Here are some of the things mentioned in the episode:
Recompose (human composting)
Green Burial Council
Death Over Dinner
The Guardian on aquamation (and Desmond Tutu)
Cancer for Breakfast is hosted by Amy Dials and Stefanie LeJeunesse, and is produced by Nathan McGehee.
