A friend of mine tipped me off to a new website that hopes to be the online reference for people who are curious about death. The Death Reference Desk is run by two librarians and a professor of death and dying practices, so you know these people are gravely serious! (Sorry. I couldn’t resist.)
Right now they have blog entries up about such diverse topics as people who live in the City of the Dead in Cairo, people who choose to be buried face-down (there’s one I never thought of), and how Michael Jackson’s body might end up being “plastinated” by the famous Gunther von Hagens of Body Worlds. (And here I thought I was going to get out the other end of this week without mentioning Michael Jackson, drat-it.)
Oh Ho but it gets better. They have an online query form where you can ask questions about death to be answered by the staff. So don’t let them moulder away, go ask them a question!
