Episode Details

Thank you for joining us this week Geoffs! In this episode Madison is giving us a history lesson on Hospice care, but first Spencer takes a look at the oldest funeral home in America and let’s just say the way they used to measure bodies for caskets is……interesting! We’ve got an obituary for a fashionista, and one guy who kept it short and sweet. Oh, we didn’t forget, we’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminalllllls! Let’s go!
