From Here to Eternity takes readers across the globe to witness how different cultures honor their dead, while Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? answers the strange, funny, and surprisingly common questions people have about what happens to bodies after death. Together they form a candid, curious introduction to the modern death-positive movement, ideal for readers ready to rethink mortality itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCaitlin Doughty first made her name running a nontraditional funeral home in Los Angeles, and her writing carries that same blend of frontline experience and irreverent honesty. In From Here to Eternity, she travels to Indonesia, Bolivia, Japan, and beyond to observe funerary customs that Western audiences rarely see, from open-air cremations to family-tended mummies, illustrated throughout by artist Landis Blair. The book doubles as a gentle critique of the sanitized, corporate American funeral industry, arguing that distance from death often does more harm than good. Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? takes a different shape, built from real questions Doughty received from kids and curious adults, covering embalming, decomposition, cremation, and burial alternatives. Illustrated by Dianné Ruz, it answers each question with scientific accuracy, dry humor, and zero condescension. Both books share Doughty's core mission: normalizing everyday conversations about death so that grief, curiosity, and planning can happen freely without shame. Readers who enjoy travel writing, pop-science, or memoir will find plenty to hold onto here, since Doughty never loses the human stories behind the facts. This pairing works well as an introduction to her writing or as a satisfying follow-up for fans of her earlier memoir, offering both a wide-lens cultural survey and a close-up, question-and-answer format in one compact, gift-ready paperback set for curious minds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairs a global travelogue with an accessible Q\u0026amp;A book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated by Landis Blair and Dianné Ruz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWitty voice for curious teens and adults\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers funerary customs and death science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift for true-crime and pop-science fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact set, ideal to read together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom Here to Eternity: Travelling the World to Find the Good Death — Doughty visits Indonesia, Japan, and Bolivia, illustrated by Landis Blair.\u003cbr\u003e\nWill My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: And Other Questions About Dead Bodies — Doughty answers real questions about decomposition, illustrated by Dianné Ruz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCaitlin Doughty is a mortician, funeral industry critic, and founder of The Order of the Good Death, a death-acceptance collective.
