When someone dies, naturally or most unnaturally, a journey of discovery, inquisition, ritual, justice, and healing begins. A person’s death may end their existence, yet still, the body remains, launching a trail leading from the crime scene to the final resting ground.
Body to Burial is a new podcast that follows this far-reaching journey—plus the related and sometimes unexpected side trails that follow—from the perspective of the professionals who deal with it every day. After all, the body's path is rarely direct, and many different people are often involved.
Each week we bring you exclusive, in-depth, unscripted conversations with death and death-adjacent professionals. The goal is to better understand the intricacies of their field and examine the physical, mental, and emotional toll that comes from making a living off of crime and death. These casual, easygoing conversations serve as a welcome relief from the heavy nature of the true-crime world while staying in the same universe.
Join us for a deep dive into the people and processes involved with death—
from body to burial.
