Let's talk about death. It's a conversation many shy away from, but it’s something everyone will experience. In Sorry for Your Loss, we explore the questions we often avoid: What happens to a body after it’s taken away? How do you talk about death with kids? And what should you say—or not say—to someone in their final days?
Hosted by author and former media executive Denise Donlon and death care professional John Monahan, this podcast aims to normalize the inevitable and help us all navigate the often uncomfortable conversations surrounding death.
Join us as we explore what happens when you die, how to prepare, the costs of death care, the options for sustainable burials, and how professionals like embalmers cope with working in a death-centered industry. Through expert guests and candid discussions, Sorry for Your Loss pulls back the veil on the world of dying and death, offering a sensitive and informative approach to understanding what lies ahead.

In this episode of Sorry For Your Loss, we explore what it means to die in a way that honours not just the individual, but the planet. We begin with Jim Cassimatis, the former registrar at the Bereavement Authority of Ontario, who helps us understand how death care is regulated, what protections are in place for consumers, and where sustainability fits into the current system. Then, we meet Quinn Hunter, a licensed funeral director and passionate advocate for greener practices, whose own journey into the field began with helping her mother plan a funeral. From aquamation to forest interment, we hear about the alternatives to traditional burials and cremations, the barriers that still exist, and what’s changing as more people begin to ask: can death be sustainable?
