My name is Adina Solomon, and I’m a journalist who reports on death—the industry, the people who work in it, and how we as a society respond to it. I’m looking into a reporting project on these topics. For that, I want to speak with the people who know the death care and end-of-life care industries best.
That includes people who work in funeral homes, cemeteries, morgues. It could be the people who drive body transport vehicles, who dig graves, who run funeral homes, who produce grave markers, who cremate bodies. Death doulas, music-thanatologists. The list goes on, and I’m sure there are plenty of jobs I couldn’t even name but are part of our journey into and through death.
Is this you? Please answer the questions below. If this is someone you know, please send them the link to this survey. I still want to hear from you even if you only work in death part of your time.

A little bit about me: I’m a freelance journalist who writes news and narrative stories for newspapers, magazines, and digital publications. I’ve written about the national rise in the number of bodies going unclaimed after death, the personal finance of funerals, and the future of memorial makers. To read some of my work, visit
