The Removalist

On the Front Line of Death Care

De: Matthew Franklin Sias

Narrado por: Jonathan Todd Ross

"To be able to thrive in a field most are terrified of is a source of pride.... To be in the presence of those who have crossed over the great divide is oddly meaningful, in an ultimate sense."

In this sequel to Silent Siren: Memoirs of a Lifesaving Mortician, ride along with mortuary removal technician Matthew Franklin Sias as he cares for the deceased in rural Washington State.

Step into the hidden world of death care and explore the challenge of removing the deceased from the often-difficult, regularly awkward, and sometimes downright bizarre circumstances in which they die, the art and science of embalming, and the intrigue of forensic pathology.

Sias is a veteran death investigator, former funeral director/embalmer intern, and paramedic with 28 years of emergency response experience.

Fascinating and Informative

I appreciated the view the author gave into this arena he works in. I found no fat shaming as others did, only an honest accounting of how are bodies must be dealt with after passing. We are given many facts, logistics and also the human side of this challenging occupation. Well done!
