In this episode the girls prepare for death by considering “sustainable” body disposal practices.

We recommend:

Caitlin: the Apple TV series, Pluribus for depicting body disposal labor

Kaylin: the 2019 film, The Lighthouse, and Peacock’s Pokerface season 2 episode 2 for knowing cremated remains are pulverised bones

Kris: The Pitt season 2 for continuing to raise DNR awareness, and Netflix’s His and Hers

Megan: the Netflix series, Derry Girls for the Irish wake scene
