From Here To Eternity by Caitlin Doughty

“Fascinated by our pervasive fear of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty embarks on a global expedition to discover how other cultures care for the dead. From Zoroastrian sky burials to wish-granting Bolivian skulls, she investigates the world’s funerary customs and expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with dignity. Her account questions the rituals of the American funeral industry—especially chemical embalming—and suggests that the most effective traditions are those that allow mourners to personally attend to the body of the deceased. Exquisitely illustrated by artist Landis Blair, From Here to Eternity is an adventure into the morbid unknown, a fascinating tour through the unique ways people everywhere confront mortality.”

I'm Megan, founder of Until Death Doulas. I provide compassionate, non-medical support for end-of-life planning, focusing on celebration planning and Care Circle creation for adults 18+.

My path to this work started early, shaped by loss and grief in my community. Volunteering in palliative care as a teen, I realized the profound impact of listening to stories and being present with someone facing the unknown. After years in the events and music industry, I returned to death work, drawn to its meaningful nature.

Death isn't a crisis but a part of life that deserves care, dignity, and connection. I help you build the structures and support that reflect your values, whether planning for surgery or your final chapter.
