All the Living and the Dead

Caught between her own fear and fascination of death, journalist Hayley Campbell looks for answers among the people who choose to make a living by working with the dead. Her journey into this hidden world takes her from a funeral director in a leafy London borough to a high-tech cryonics institute in downtown Detroit. She meets an executioner who kept his profession a secret for decades, a pair of chipper gravediggers who have marked out their own graves, a crime scene cleaner with a fanatical Instagram following and a man who casts death masks for the rich and famous. Throughout it all she asks, what does dealing with death every day do to you as a person? And what happens when we confront what we fear?
