Adam Conover’s truTV show Adam Ruins Everything is airing the perfect episode this week just in time for Christmas: “Adam Ruins Death.” Among the death-related subjects Conover breaks down in the episode is how the American funeral industry takes advantage of grief for huge profits, and if Conover has his way, a whole lot of people will be making — or revising — their own funeral plans over the holiday break. Watch the rest when Adam Ruins Everything airs tomorrow night at 10:00pm.
The segment shown is full of inaccuracies, as we all know… but many truths. I watched the entire episode online, and literally cheered when Caitlin Doughty made an appearance and discussed natural burial options.
It is our duty to be informed and aware of what the public desires and is educating themselves on. This is a great piece to start a discussion… and if as professionals we cannot adapt and offer exactly what our families are asking for… those families will find out quickly they can go elsewhere. Unless they’re in my care…. I already do EXACTLY what the families want.
