Life's great undertaking

While surfing this evening, not in the ocean, but online, I came across a brilliant, beautiful, and very morbid blog called The Daily Undertaker.


Check out this fascinating post about one designer's urn project.


This post is about an artist who designed bird feeders out of bird food and human ash.

After Cornelius died, I realized that I report far more deaths than births on my blog. I don't come into contact with many babies, however I'm not sure that this is the only reason. I can't imagine picking up a piece of literature that is all about birth, yet so many of the great literary works address questions related to death. Tonight I present the evidence, but no conclusion.
