This book is the true depiction of my job as a body transfer technician. The police like to jokingly call us the body snatchers or we are also known as mortuary transfer technicians. We are the people who pick you up after you pass away. We pick you up from Hospitals, hospices, residences and medical examiners. Wherever you pass away that's where we go. It may seem like an average, every day, boring job. But I am here to tell you from firsthand experience that it is anything but average and ordinary. What you're going to read in this book will absolutely shock you, sadden you and probably make you question everything you thought you knew about dying.
I believe it is important for us to foster a greater comfort level with discussing the topic of death. Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, the reality remains that each one of us will inevitably face our own mortality. Personally, I find it beneficial to be knowledgeable about this impending experience. The more we understand, the better equipped we are to navigate it. I also believe that much of the fear surrounding death diminishes as we acquire more knowledge about it. Researchers have actually concluded that the people who embrace and accept death live more meaningful lives. To, me that makes complete sense. We appreciate people and precious moments more when we know neither are going to last forever. It has actually been said that the ones who are afraid of death don't live at all. My intention with this book is to alleviate some of your fears regarding death. By incorporating humor whenever possible, I aim to counter the sadness often associated with the subject. It is my firm belief that nobody should fear something that ultimately has the potential to be a beautiful and profound experience.
