About this listen

Best-selling author and mortician Caitlin Doughty answers real questions from kids about death, dead bodies, and decomposition.

Every day, funeral director Caitlin Doughty receives dozens of questions about death. The best questions come from kids. What would happen to an astronaut’s body if it were pushed out of a space shuttle? Do people poop when they die? Can Grandma have a Viking funeral?

In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, Doughty blends her mortician’s knowledge of the body and the intriguing history behind common misconceptions about corpses to offer factual, hilarious, and candid answers to 35 distinctive questions posed by her youngest fans. In her inimitable voice, Doughty details lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn colors during decomposition? And why do hair and nails appear longer after death? Listeners will learn the best soil for mummifying your body, whether you can preserve your best friend’s skull as a keepsake, and what happens when you die on a plane.

Beautifully illustrated by Dianné Ruz, Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? shows us that death is science and art, and only by asking questions can we begin to embrace it.

I've been a long time follower of Caitlin on youtube ( ask a mortician ) so a book by her and read by her was an automatic buy. She's funny, informative and has a wonderful way of blending seriousness with quircky humour. An enourmously entertaing read.

Excemplar

Caitlin, is so funny and makes death a non taboo... With her charmingly funny attitude to death, this book takes the taboo of death and leaves you laughing instead of crying!...It leaves you knowing that we are all going to die...but in a good way, unless it’s not a good way!...In that case you will probably feature in her upcoming YouTube videos or her next book! ....Anyone with a fear of death, or questions about death should listen or read this to get over your fear of death.

Interestingly witty feel good death book
