Life is meaningful because it ends; we are brief blips on a long timeline colliding with other people, other unlikely collections of atoms and energy that somehow existed at the same time we did.

Death is one of the few inevitable facts of life, and yet we can never fully prepare for it.

We grow up protected from the details of mortality, and most of us are not faced with the physicality of death until we lose a loved one.

Hayley Campbell is a British journalist, author, and broadcaster known for her work in media outlets like WIRED, The Guardian, VICE, and BuzzFeed.

Campbell spent years interviewing people who make a living by dealing with death: funeral directors, pathologists, embalmers, and executioners.

Published in 2022, All the Living and the Dead provides a glimpse into the unseen reality of the death industry.
