Funeral Stories

Episode 17 Geology Rocks, Pt. 2

This week, Laura begins her research on a topic that is near-and-dear to Casey's heart. We hope you all find it humorous and comforting during these uncertain times. If you don't enjoy it, blame Casey for her full on nerd out!

S3 E16: Geology Rocks, Pt. 1

**TW: Brief mention of suicide in this episode** This week, we're joined by one of Casey and Sethen's close friends, Scott, who shares his experience with grief, which started at a young age. His personal story of the life and death of his Heisman Trophy winning grandfather and the untimely loss of his larger-than-life father proves the notion that the truth, is indeed, stranger than fiction.

S3 E15: Scott's Story - A Poet That Knows It

This week, Laura shares her research on the history of body snatching in Edinburgh. Everything culminates with the story of Burke & Hare-- who took the career of body snatching a little too far.

S3 E14: Edinburgh Body Snatching

This week, we're mixing it up a bit with a research topic from Casey! If you've listened to any episodes so far, you know that Casey cannot get a phrase right (Useless as a submarine door?) to save her life. This time, she's turning the submarine around and informing us all about the dark history of some common phrases.

S3 E11: The Story of Leche GaGa - "Break Some Stuff", Pt. 2

This week we are joined by Ginny and her friend, Stephanie, for an episode from a completely different perspective. Stephanie is currently fighting cancer (or in her words: Cancer is fighting her). It's fair to say that she has one of the best attitudes we've encountered so far and it was a privilege to hear her story. Whether she's competing in a roller derby bout as "Leche GaGa" or giving the finger to the Grim Reaper, Stephanie does not let anything get her down. We can't even begin to describe the magic that happened while recording this episode-- it's better if you just listen.

S3 E11: The Story of Leche GaGa - "Break Some Stuff", Pt. 1

On this week's episode, we apologize to cats... We know some of you were a little bummed by our episode on death omens, so we're here this week presenting evidence that cats are pretty dope.

S3 E4: The Story of Boudicca

This week, we share an episode we recorded back in season two when we sat down with Casey's college friend, Ashley, to discuss the wide array of grief associated with watching her father die of early onset Alzheimer's.

S3 E3: Ashley's Story

Everyone always talks about their wedding story or childbirth story, but no one ever says, "Hey... What happened at that funeral you went to?" and there's always a story there. Lifelong friends Laura Brooker and Casey Carter ask that question in Funeral Stories, a podcast about the crazy, cringeworthy, hilarious & heartfelt stories that come with saying goodbye.
