Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Shaving the corpse is the most awkward event in a girl's life other than her first kiss or losing her virginity. The hands of time move much more slowly when you are standing over an elderly man with a pink razor in your hand.

#2

I had to wake up early, which was never my habit, and go to work at a crematory as a newbie crematory operator. The mortuary was nondescript from the outside, and I was terrified of getting fired.

#3

I had always been curious about death, but after I found out that all humans die, my terror and morbid curiosity had to compete. I was drawn to the bodies, the rituals, and the grief. I wanted the harder stuff.

#4

I was eventually assigned to be the crematorium’s mortician, which meant I had to shave and dress the deceased. I was not prepared for the gruesome task, but I did my best to sink or swim.

#5

The author went on a backpacking trip to Guatemala, where he met a woman who ended up breaking his roommate’s heart. He decided not to tell his friend about the strange, perverse power he felt while crushing a skull.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

My first day at work, I met Padma, a Sri Lankan woman who was in her early thirties when she died of a rare genetic disease. Her body was kept for months at the Stanford University Hospital so doctors could conduct tests on her.

#2

Cremating the dead is a very unpleasant task, but I had to do it to keep the peace. I would always say Nope, got it! when someone asked me for help with the plants or funeral preparations.
