Explains exactly what happens to your body after you die: past history of cannibalism, dissection, autopsies, organ donation, life-ending trauma caused in airplane and car rashes, burial, cremation, and up-and-coming means of body disposal. Definitely not things you talk about at the dinner table, but I found it very interesting. She explores the history behind a lot of urban myths surrounding the dead as well. I liked how she broke the book up into shorter readable chapters.
