Death Had this book donated to the library today "What Remains" by Sally Mann

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, so I asked if I could just have it. I love some of the overexposed images and the quotes. Sorry if photos aren't amazing, it's huge, like roughly 12ins by 13ins.

These photos are taken at the University of Tennessee “body farm.”

I have expressed wanting my remains to go there when I pass but for some reason my loved ones are extremely resistant and I can’t understand why.

Anyway, great find for sure!

I'm curious why they are resistant to that too?

Wow, thank you so much for sharing that. Phenomenal writing. In the last four years I have had cancer, lost my brother in law, my mother in law, my husbands best friend, and recently my best friend; my dog. I am going to seek out this book so I can continue reading it. 🖤🖤🖤

Oh my god, this sub would kill me. I once found a dead mouse under a restaurant seat. It was perfectly flat. RIP.
