Obitchuary

It's safe to say everyone thinks about death. But have you ever wondered about what sort of keepsakes you can make with your remains or the most scandalous deathbed confessions throughout history? Well, Madison Reyes and Spencer Henry have, and they've spent countless hours scouring the darkest corners of the internet, digging through newspaper archives, devouring documents, and picking the brains of death industry experts to bring you Obitchuary, a darkly funny and deeply poignant exploration of all things death. With illustrated chapters like "Keep In Touch" on seance, ouija, and the history of connecting to the dead, "Obituaries" on the wildest real-life obituaries, and "Pet Cemetary" on the inventive things people do for their deceased pets and the ways in which pets mourn their owners, Madison, and Spencer guide us through surprisingly colorful history, traditions, and contemporary practices to demystify taboo topics.
