Caitlin Doughty featured in WIRED Magazine

In her new book, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes (that’s a cremation joke), Doughty argues for more acceptance of death in our culture—and tries to spark a wave of amateur undertaking.

Grab a copy of the October 2014 issue of WIRED Magazine, and you’ll find a provocative interview with 30-year-old mortician, blogger and writer Caitlin Doughty.

Doughty’s webseries “Ask a Mortician” has led to features on National Public Radio, BBC, the Huffington Post, Vice, the LA Times, Jezebel.com, Forbes, Bust Magazine and Salon. At Wordfest, she appears in Decomposure with Caitlin Doughty, Hosted by Sarah Kerr, local educator and facilitator.
