In this episode of The Last Word, hosts Nastassia Jones and Jonathan Schuster meet with Jackson Tozer. Jackson reveals his vision for a noble demise, followed by a funeral festival: a backyard bash at his parents’ house complete with KFC, carnival rides, and a weeping willow. Join us for a suitable fried farewell.

This week’s episode features the formidable Hannah Gould. We map out her epic three-day funeral hike, dive into the fascinating overlap of decomposition and feminism, and cover all the delightfully morbid essentials. You know—just the usual.

We sit with the legendary little grub, Ben Russell to plan his funeral.

Nastassia Jones, Co-Founder of the Last Hurrah Funerals and Comedian Jonathan Schuster invite a different legend each week to come and plan their final farewell.

From location, tunes, and final disposition, each episode follows the trio scheming grand and often weirdly specific and personal funeral wishes. Nothing is off-limits here.

The Last Word tosses hushed tunes and solemn discussions for lively, wrong-town chats that ultimately make conversations about death a touch less intimidating.
