  • Cremation Fireworks and the Gravestone Hustle: Death but Make it Chaotic, with Sara and Matthew
    Mar 3 2025

    In this episode of Does This Make My Ash Look Big?, we’re joined by not one, but TWO special guests for a hilariously morbid deep dive into all things death and beyond. One of our guests owns a monument shop, so naturally, we grill them on the wildest headstone requests they’ve received and what it’s like to sell eternal real estate. Of course, we also chat about their post-mortem wishes—because if anyone has strong opinions about their final send-off, it’s someone in the business!


    Also tune in for discussion on the ultimate funeral playlist—what song we'd want playing at our funerals Will it be something heartfelt and classic? Or will we leave our loved ones confused and slightly horrified. Spoiler: probably the latter.


    And just when you think we've covered it all, we light things up—literally—with a discussion about cremation fireworks. Because what better way to go out with a bang than by having your ashes blasted into the sky in a fiery spectacle?


    Tune in for a rock-solid (see what we did there?) episode filled with laughs, death talk, and a surprising amount of music debate!

    Then, just when you thought things couldn’t get more uncomfortable, we take a detour into the most awkward years of our lives: preteen and teen disasters. From bad haircuts to questionable clothing choices, we relive the moments that still haunt us—because if we’re talking about death, we might as well talk about the slow death of our dignity in middle school.


    Join us for an episode full of laughs, questionable choices, and the ultimate question: How do you want to go out?
