Shownotes Transcript

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with death. Between Dark History and Murder  Mystery & Makeup, it comes up all the time. But recently, I realized when people talk about death, they only talk about the event leading up to death--not what happens after. If you’re in America, dying isn’t necessarily about being remembered. It’s very freaking stressful. And… expensive. The industry makes over 20 billion dollars a year. So it got me thinking… why do we do this? Does it have to be this way? And who the hell is profiting off of all this death? 

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
