Lindsay is joined by Ashley from Studying Scarlet and Emily from Drink, Drunk, Dead to discuss the 1st U.S. Cremation, as well as why you should never drink wine next to an open-air crematory, explore the merits of using your ashes to grow a tree, and enjoy the image of a flaming sheep (you’ll have to listen to understand that one).
