Death Warmed Over, by Lisa Rogak, is equal parts cookbook and anthropologic exploration. In it, she explores the funeral food, rituals, and customs from over 70 cultures. In many cultures, food for the deceased is just as important as food for the living; and food made out of the deceased is not out of the question either. Lisa has also written the book Stones and Bones of New England, which serves as a guide for notable cemeteries in the region. She joins John Walters to discuss final meals and resting places.
