Review 1: Death Becomes Us audiobook by Ray Johnson
Take it from a funeral director, this is amazing
I got this book because I am a funeral director, and death is quite lterally, my business. I always try to keep up with new ideas or get different perspectives on death and dying. Death Becomes Us is a fantastic look into the way that death affects us. It touches all of us at verious points in our lives, and there is no escaping it. Still, in this country, no one wants to consider their own mortality or the death process in those they love. This book looks at some hard cases, and some touching ones. It is real. That is the main thing I want to say. This is authentic. That comes out from the interviews, and the author’s heart.
When I listened to this book all I could think of was this would make a great class for some CEU’s for funeral directors from a hospice. Then, I thought this would make for great reading at a hospice! Families could benefit from this book. I may be getting a copy or two for my own funeral home!
As for the audible portion, this was narrated perfectly by Lisaun Whittingham. You almost feel that she speaks with the author’s voice, as this is as much her story as it is Skjolsvik’s. She carries a lot of sympathy and empathy in her tones, and with just some slight intonations she really tugs at your heartstrings.
Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.

Review 2: Death Becomes Us audiobook by Chopsticks11
Surprisingly Humorous
I picked up this book because I too deal with death in my daily life; though my profession was not covered in this book. (Sequel?) I am aware that when dealing with death on a regular basis that at some point humor is almost a given. The heaviness that relates to the topic itself for most people eventually requires an outlet. I was pleasantly surprised to find is that Ms. Skjolsvik included humor in her writing as effortlessly as she did for someone who feared death and living as much as she did.
This book had me hooked right from the beginning. The wrong number scene had me laughing out loud and the ongoing saga of not wanting to face the death of a child had me tearing up. Ms. Skjolsvik did an excellent job exploring that manners of death and how people deal with it both before and after the event.
Ms. Whittingham also did a great job with the narration. Frequently while reading this book I had to remind myself that it was not the author herself speaking. Ms. Whittingham made it sound so natural and as though she herself had been in each of those situations.
I certainly recommend this book for those who want a real reflection of death and how different professions and types of people handle the inevitable.
I was provided with a free copy of this audio book for my honest review. The views expressed here are entirely my own.
Review 3: Death Becomes Us audiobook by Ashley Ricci
Death for the Living
A fascinating look at death through many people’s eyes as the writer gets close to those who deal with death as a profession, calling, or had it thrust upon them. Sometimes funny, and sometimes sad, the authors take on those she meets are very insightful and fun.
The author gifted me the book through a Quarantined Book Club group!
