From noon to 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. MT) today, I’ll be with Cathy Lewis live in her studio to talk about funeral planning for those who don’t plan to die and the “funny” in funeral. We’ll be joined by Robert Webster, a licensed embalmer, funeral director, and author of “Does This Mean You’ll See Me Naked?” The show is titled “That’s a Nice Casket You’ve Got There.”
HearSay with Cathy Lewis is an award-winning public affairs radio call-in program in Hampton Roads, Virginia on NPR affiliate WHRV-FM 89.5. Every Monday through Friday, the program reaches more than 52,000 listeners, from Richmond to the Outer Banks.
The show is also available online! You can listen live online through this link:

If you miss the live broadcast, I’ll post a link to the podcast afterward on https://agoodgoodbye.com and The Family Plot Blog.

That’s a Nice Casket You Have There
What happens after the inevitable happens? Funeral planning isn’t something many of us engage in until the last moment, but with an average cost between $6,000 to $15,000, a little up-front management could help ease the experience. On Monday’s HearSay, two funeral experts join host Cathy Lewis to talk about how to go out in style – and share some of their more interesting memories about “death care.”
