They chat about organising funerals for people who die with no one to do it for them (and how that could be you), whether it’s necessary for her to work as hard as she does on this, how you need a strong stomach for her job, but also why you need to write down all your details and funereal wishes, why you can’t have a Viking funeral, but can be buried in your own garden, why you’re a tricky to burn bag of fluid, why dying shouldn’t be so taboo and thing you can do to liven up your funeral. A very positive book and chat about a subject that people don’t like to talk about.
