This morning on the Diane Rehms show, Lisa Takeuchi Cullen the author of Remember Me: A Lively Tour of the New American Way of Death (available soon at your local library), related stories of a new take on the process of memorializing loved ones. My favorites? The skydiving rituals (including glitter), green ceremonies, the NASCAR casket, and of course, the lobster casket. Should you be feeling a teensy bit creeped out by my post, you may want to visit the Death Clock site for an estimation of your very own "personal day of death". Mine is October 30, 2039, which, frankly, I'm not too happy about... a bit close to Halloween.
