Episode description

In this episode of The StickyBeak, Mon explores three unconventional approaches to death, memory, and what it means to leave a legacy—beyond the traditional coffin or cremation.


She speaks with:

The People’s Pyramid – a long-term art project and collective memorial founded by The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (The KLF).

Return Home – a Washington-based funeral home offering natural organic reduction, also known as human composting.

Southern Cryonics – Australia's first and only cryonics facility, based in Holbrook, NSW.


This episode is a curious, thoughtful look at the ways people are reimagining the end of life—from soil to stone to suspension.


A HUGE thank you to these legends for getting involved...
