Because we will die one day, and no one knows when, so let's make these days matter." "A lot of the show's purpose is actually reminding Americans of all the ways they are alive. "What really matters and what's really close to your heart comes to the surface," she says. This is perhaps a gentle reminder that, as you are death cleaning, you may want to write your own cleansing obit."We often say that death cleaning is for life," she tells CBS News, explaining how talking about death and leaning into the uncomfortable emotions that often come with those conversations helps create a perspective shift.

Throughout her text, like parsley, she sprinkles bits of small-town obituaries, such as this one from Galveston, Tex.:
“Phone trees, sign-up sheets, and now email blasts and text chains organize everything a grieving family could need.” “Small town communities, urban social circles and religious congregations can pull together a plan with a rapidity and precision world military leaders can envy,” she writes. She writes well about how Southerners react to the deaths of friends and loved ones. “There are times when your instinct, your heart’s reaction, is to prepare food,” Magness writes. My wife finds traditional Southern food to be soft and starchy, and will not cook it, especially after I am no longer around to wheedle and cajole. I will need friends to bring these things to my funeral. This book contains some of those things, for me at least - fried chicken and country ham and tomato aspic and cornbread salad and chess pie. But it would be nice if people brought the foods you loved to your wake.
You can’t cook the food for your own funeral, unless you are good with freezers, time things well and have a morbid streak.
