'If the reason we're outsourcing this burden is because it's too much for us,' she asks, 'how do \u003ci\u003ethey\u003c\/i\u003e deal with it?' Would facing death directly make us fear it less?\u003cbr\u003eInspired by her own childhood fascination with the subject, she meets embalmers and a former death row executioner, mass fatality investigators and a bereavement midwife. She talks to gravediggers who have already dug their own graves and questions a man whose job it is to make crime scenes disappear. Through Campbell's incisive and candid interviews with people who see death every day, she asks- Does seeing death change you as a person? And are we all missing something vital by letting death remain hidden?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Essential, compassionate, honest' Audrey Niffenegger, author of \u003ci\u003eTHE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Never macabre... poignant...
