As The Hearse Turns

Business EN ↓ 11 episodes

As The Hearse Turns isn’t your typical funeral service podcast — and we’re not here to play it safe. Hosted by funeral directors Katharine Wagner-Elfner and Chris Boggs, this show pulls back the curtain on life, death, and everything in between. We tackle the conversations most people were told not to have — embalming, cremation, restoration, preneed, transparency, pricing, ethics, and the realities of modern funeral service. We answer real questions. We challenge outdated thinking. We call out misinformation. And yes… we might rock the boat a little.
