Welcome to The Dead Good Podcast, the ultimate behind-the-scenes look at the funeral profession, where absolutely nothing is off-limits. Hosted by Chris Marsden (an experienced Funeral Celebrant) and Jacob Walsh (a seasoned Funeral Director), this podcast pulls back the heavy velvet curtains of the death care industry to give you an honest, insightful, and surprisingly uplifting look at a world most people only experience in moments of grief.

Death is inevitable, but talking about it shouldn't be taboo. We approach the end of life with deep care, utmost compassion and crucially, a good splash of humour. Because let’s face it: if you can’t laugh at the absurdity of life and death, you’re missing out on the best parts of being alive.

Every journey has a beginning, and ours starts right here. In our debut episode, "An Introduction," we introduce ourselves, share how we ended up in the death care industry, and lay out exactly what you can expect from this series. We’re setting the stage for an open, unfiltered dialogue about what happens when the heart stops beating, how families say goodbye and what it’s really like to work with the dead every single day.

If you've ever had a burning question about funerals, cremation, burial traditions, or the strange things that happen behind closed doors at a funeral home, you are in the right place. We cover all topics of the funeral profession, spanning from the deeply moving to the utterly bizarre.

As two industry professionals, Chris and Jacob bring a unique dual perspective to the microphone:

• The Funeral Director’s View (Jacob Walsh): The logistics, the care of the deceased, the unique requests, and the day-to-day realities of running a funeral home.
• The Funeral Celebrant’s View (Chris Marsden): The storytelling, the emotional navigation, crafting the perfect send-off, and capturing the essence of a life lived.

Together, they bridge the gap between the technical and the emotional, proving that the funeral industry is a weird but wonderful profession filled with heart, humanity, and unforgettable moments.

• Nothing Is Off-Limits: We don’t dance around the morbid details. From the science of decomposition to the logistics of a green burial, we answer the questions people are usually too polite to ask.
• Compassion Meets Comedy: We deal with grief daily, so we know how heavy it can be. We bring light to the darkness by using humor as a tool for healing and connection. We are not afraid to laugh at death... as you'll quickly find out!
• Expert Insights: No myths, no Hollywood exaggerations. Just real talk from two professionals who live and breathe (pun intended) the funeral industry.

This podcast isn't just a monologue; it’s a death-positive community. We want to demystify the industry with you.
