In 2019 Bec Lyons traveled to six countries on a Churchill Fellowship. She was researching the human relationship to death and ceremony through alternative approaches and technologies. It was a huge effort and this book is the result.

Through an extensive process of interviews and site visits, Bec met with and learned from people who are doing death differently - from funeral directors to doulas to health professionals, and everyone in between. This book aims to document what is happening around the world, what is under development, and what is new to the end of life space. - and how it all might work in Australia.

Rich with personal reflections, this book will give you a detailed insight into what is possible at end of life, what options are emerging and how they fit into an Australian context.
