With that idea in mind, we ate cake at an Oak Lawn death café, talked to our city’s new death doulas, learned how to host a home funeral, considered our body disposition options (water cremation, anyone?), nailed down the biggest estate planning pitfalls, dug into our rights as funeral home consumers, and scored an exit interview with Dallas’ chief medical examiner. Check out “How to Die in Dallas” from the November issue of D Magazine.
