2 of my favorite says: “we are ancestors in the making” and “the closest thing we have to a seance is reading the writings from the dead”

Things I would LOVE: a conversation between Cat and Caitlin Doughty, mortician, with Anthony sitting and being delightfully horrified as he tends to be in conversations with Cat!

I love when Antony gets giddy and starts saying how much he loves history. Me too Antony…. Me too ….. History is always fascinating. ❤

Just a fabulous, respectful conversation. As a very, very old nurse, I can clearly recall the solemn respect we were taught and exhibited when performing 'Last Offices' ... it was always a priviledge to prep❤are a patient, whom you knew and cared about, for their next journey. ❤❤❤

Literally threw my arms up in excitement and shouted ‘Cat!’ when she introduced herself. Love how these episodes bring such a different and open perspective on some traditionally dark/taboo subjects. Great job all.

One of the most startling statements I've ever read on Tumblr is, "if your bones are wet then you’re alive, but if they’re dry then you’re dead." And everybody in the comments freaking out about talking about how they never considered that their bones are wet.

As someone who loves historic fashion I'd 1000% be going there to look at the outfits. It's so rare to have such a well preserved snapshot of 18th to early 20th century fashion. Especially women's fashion which was usually reused to make other dresses in later styles.
