Caitlin Doughty - Live Viewing OR Zoom

Caitlin Doughty, author, mortician, advocate and founder of reform collective, The Order of the Good Death

Join us for a conversation with Caitlin Doughty. Hailed by The New York Times as "a relentlessly curious and chipper tour guide to the underworld,” she’ll discuss reform of Western funeral industry practices and much more with Mark Bazer (The Interview Show).

Her educational webseries "Ask a Mortician" has been viewed almost 250 million times and her three books were New York Times bestsellers—"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "From Here to Eternity" and "Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?" She founded a Los Angeles funeral home as well as the funeral reform collective The Order of the Good Death, which spawned the death positive movement.

Doughty will be joined in conversation with Mark Bazer. Bazer is the host and creator of WTTW’s The Interview Show. Filmed in a bar in Chicago, the series features conversations that are as substantive as they are entertaining.
