It's safe to say everyone thinks about death. But have you ever wondered about what sort of keepsakes you can make with your remains, or the most scandalous deathbed confessions throughout history? Well Madison Reyes and Spencer Henry have, and they've spent countless hours scouring the darkest corners of the internet, digging through newspaper archives, devouring documents, and picking the brains of death industry experts to bring you Obitchuary, a darkly funny and deeply poignant exploration of all things Death.

Shocking, macabre, hilarious, and moving, Obitchuary digs deep
