Hello, my name is Marieke Hardy and I’m Going To Die. But that’s ok, because so are you. And so is everybody you know, including - and trust me, I’m as conflicted about this as you are - your dog. It’s confronting, especially in the brutal world we’re all doing our best to survive, but I believe there’s something important about this universal experience we’re all having together that worth interrogating. Join me as I speak to a variety of interesting, beautiful, imperfect humans (who are definitely going to die) and help them plan their dream funerals as they reflect on their lives, their longings, and how best to navigate this intense ride.

La Petite Mort: Anita Isalska Is Going To Die

LA PETITE MORT: ANITA ISALSKA IS GOING TO DIE

Travel enthusiast Anita Isalska is a freelance writer and editor who specialises in Eastern Europe, France, and Australia. Anita has authored several Lonely Planet guidebooks, including their Malaysia, Israel & the Palestinian Territories, and Romania & Bulgaria titles - but her most recent book, Lonely Planet's Guide To Death, Grief and Rebirth - offers something a little more unusual.

The book is divided into four key chapters: Celebrating, Commemorating, Mourning, and Offering and covers everything from Jazz funerals (New Orleans); Turning of the bones (Madagascar); Burial beads (South Korea); Fantasy coffins (Ghana); Lakota soul keepers (USA); Islamic funeral customs; death wailing; the people paid to weep; Swedish death cleaning; Green burials; and more.

Anita approaches her subject with a respectful and curious eye, and it's a gift to share her deathly knowledge.
