Reddit mentions of Elizabeth Heyert: The Travelers

She talks all about how she would get the family's approval after they viewed the prepared body usually the night before the service, then she would go back to the mortuary around 4am to rig up all her equipment actually HANGING ABOVE the coffins, and she would work with the undertaker to pose them (she says she never personally touched her subjects) for a few hours to create these portraits. She was really self reflective about her entry to this culture that was so removed from her, and how she moved through that space. Really, the whole thing was so moving. Get the book!!
