No one might know what happens when you die (actually, I do: nothing), but funeral director, mortician, and YouTube star Caitlin Doughty can certainly answer less ethereal questions about death. For instance: Do people poop when they die? And how do I get a Viking funeral? And, of course, will my cat eat my eyeballs out when I die alone on my kitchen floor after choking on a cupcake? Doughty’s new book answers these questions and many more, and like all her work, will help demystify the most inevitable and perhaps most mysterious part of being alive: dying. by Katie Herzog
