The most comforting book about death you'll ever read.

Talking about death won't kill you. Yet in today's world, death remains one of our greatest taboos. As religion declines and rituals fade, we are left without guidance for one of life's only certainties. This book is your handbook for death in the 21st century - a compassionate, practical and surprisingly hopeful guide to understanding mortality.

From cremation to green burials, from grieving a pet to navigating tricky memorial etiquette, anthropologist and death scholar Hannah Gould answers the questions most of us are too afraid to ask:
- Do I really get my loved one's ashes back from the crematorium?
- Can I turn into a tree when I die?
- How do I talk to my parents about end-of-life planning?
- Should I attend my ex's dad's funeral?
- Will I ever stop crying over my dog?

As we enter an era of 'peak death', this book challenges us to stop avoiding the inevitable and instead embrace it as part of a good life. Honest, witty and deeply reassuring, Gould invites readers to confront mortality not with fear, but with curiosity and courage.

If you have ever wondered about alternative funerals, modern grief, sustainable burial options or simply how to
begin the conversation about death, this is the book you've been waiting for.

'For a vibrant, full-of-life woman Hannah Gould makes death and dying sound fascinating - if not fun. Her wit and wisdom are intoxicating ... and make you think.' - Ray Martin, journalist and host of
The Last Goodbye

'Brilliantly insightful and deeply humane. This book is a much-needed call to open up conversations we've too long avoided about mortality and meaning.' - Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn, co-hosts of the
Good Mourning podcast

Great color but destroy easily
Color: Orange, Size: 20 PACK
These balls are easily visible and excellent in situations where green balls may be difficult to find. I only take these balls out to play fetch. The balls only last a couple of fetch sessions before being destroyed.

Great quality and great color!
Color: Yellow, Size: 6 PACK, Color: Yellow, Size: 6 PACK
I bought this pack of six tennis balls for weekend games with my kids and some casual practice, and they’ve been great so far. The bounce is consistent, they feel solid off the racket, and they don’t go flat quickly like some cheaper balls I’ve tried before. They work well on both the court and just for backyard play.
