Preparing Dead Bodies & Living Hearts - Victor M. Sweeney

@victormsweeney joins me for an unfiltered, humane, and surprisingly tender conversation about death, grief, funeral culture, and why modern Americans are so uncomfortable with mortality. Victor explains what actually happens behind the scenes at funerals, why “predatory funeral homes” are mostly a myth, how small towns grieve differently than cities, and what it means to care for both the living and the dead without flinching. This conversation moves from practical realities (graves, vaults, embalming, checklists) to philosophy, presence, and what death teaches us about how to live.
