Everyone's favourite mortician offers seriously fascinating answers to the questions you have about death but were too afraid to ask - for fans of WHAT IF? and WHY DON'T PENGUINS' FEET FREEZE?

Can we give Grandma a Viking funeral?
Why don't animals dig up all the graves?
Will my hair keep growing in my coffin after I'm buried?

Every day, funeral director Caitlin Doughty receives dozens of questions about death. Here she offers her factual, hilarious and candid answers to thirty-five of the most interesting, sharing the lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn strange colours during decomposition? and why do hair and nails appear longer after death? The answers are all within . . .

Caitlin Doughty is a mortician, writer and advocate for funeral industry reform. In 2011 she founded the non-profit The Order of the Good Death, which spawned the death positive movement and is working to legalise human composting and aquamation in all fifty states of the USA. Her educational documentaries as 'Ask a Mortician' have been viewed over 250 million times and all three of her books - Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, From Here to Eternity and Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? - were New York Times bestsellers. She founded a Los Angeles funeral home, Clarity Funerals, and currently lives in upstate New York.
