520    "A deeply compelling exploration of the death industry and
       the people--morticians, detectives, crime scene cleaners, 
       embalmers, executioners--who work in it and what led them 
       there. We are surrounded by death. It is in our news, our 
       nursery rhymes, our true-crime podcasts. Yet from a young 
       age, we are told that death is something to be feared. How
       are we supposed to know what we're so afraid of, when we 
       are never given the chance to look? Fueled by a childhood 
       fascination with death, journalist Hayley Campbell 
       searches for answers in the people who make a living by 
       working with the dead. Along the way, she encounters mass 
       fatality investigators, embalmers, and a former 
       executioner who is responsible for ending sixty-two lives.
       She meets gravediggers who have already dug their own 
       graves, visits a cryonics facility in Michigan, goes for 
       late-night Chinese with a homicide detective, and 
       questions a man whose job it is to make crime scenes 
       disappear. Through Campbell's incisive and candid 
       interviews with these people who see death every day, she 
       asks: Why would someone choose this kind of life? Does it 
       change you as a person? And are we missing something vital
       by letting death remain hidden? A dazzling work of 
       cultural criticism, All the Living and the Dead weaves 
       together reportage with memoir, history, and philosophy, 
       to offer readers a fascinating look into the psychology of
       Western death"--|cProvided by publisher
