6: Home Funerals

Close to Death - A podcast by USG Audio

We've all been to a funeral where we've looked around and thought: "[The deceased] would have hated this." So what would it look like if we ditched the stuffy funeral homes, skipped the expensive caskets, and designed our funerals before we died? Death doula Jill Schock helps her clients have end of life celebrations that feel unique to the life they lived. In this episode, she guides writer and producer Greg Heller through a practice run of his own funeral.  Credits: Josh Bloch- For USG Audio Jessica Grimshaw- For USG Audio Jennifer Sears- For USG Audio Tara Frelund- For USG Audio Utkarsh Ambudkar- Host Gretta Cohn - Executive Producer Kesila Childers - Executive Producer Greg Lubin - Executive Producer Jordan Bailey – Lead Producer Greg Heller - Producer Sara Nics - Executive Editor Jasmine Flott- Music Supervisor AJ Hanneld- Graphic Artist Nocturnal Sound - Mixing and Sound Design This is a USG Audio podcast in collaboration with Transmitter Media and Powderkeg.
