"Overcoming our fears and wild misconceptions about death will be no small task, but we shouldn’t forget how quickly other cultural prejudices—racism, sexism, homophobia—have begun to topple in the recent past. It is high time death had its own moment of truth."

i understand what she's trying to say but comparing fear of death to racism, sexism, and homophobia is a little bit funny to me

ugh it's just so painfully USA centric..... even when she discusses other cultures it feels like she's regurgitating a wiki she read once

kinda thought a book about working in a crematory would be more interesting
