ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In Smoke Gets in Your Eyes & Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty, the author recounts her experiences working in the American funeral industry, beginning with her time at a crematory. The narrative explores her transformation from a naive newcomer to a critical observer of modern death practices. Her initial romanticized view of death clashes with the often-gruesome realities of her job, leading her to question the industry's focus on embalming and expensive funerals. The story delves into the author's journey through mortuary school and her brief stint as a body transport driver, highlighting her growing dissatisfaction with the lack of meaningful rituals surrounding death. Through her experiences, she contrasts contemporary Western attitudes with historical and cultural approaches, ultimately advocating for a more honest and compassionate approach to mortality.
