What Happens When We Die (And What We Could Do Instead)

In this episode of The StickyBeak, Mon explores three unconventional approaches to death, memory, and what it means to leave a legacy—beyond the traditional coffin or cremation.

She speaks with:

The People’s Pyramid – a long-term art project and collective memorial founded by The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (The KLF).

Return Home – a Washington-based funeral home offering natural organic reduction, also known as human composting.

Southern Cryonics – Australia's first and only cryonics facility, based in Holbrook, NSW.

This episode is a curious, thoughtful look at the ways people are reimagining the end of life—from soil to stone to suspension.

A HUGE thank you to these legends for getting involved...
