Are You Dying To Know?

Tracy's a mortician, Trish is not. Together we discuss what goes on behind the mortuary doors and go behind the scenes of the funeral industry to shed some light on the final frontier - death. Answering your questions, talking about taboos, sometimes things get graphic, but it's always done with love, care and respect. Are you dying to know?
